SBU Sports: Women’s soccer shuts out Le Moyne Dolphins

The Stony Brook University women’s soccer team scored five goals en route to a shutout victory over Le Moyne on Sept. 9 at LaValle Stadium. Four different Seawolves tallied a goal, with Reilly Rich scoring twice to help Stony Brook improve to 3-0 this season at home.

Stony Brook opened the scoring when Rich scored her first goal of the season in the seventh minute, assisted by Sammy Hannwacker on a set-piece from the far corner. The Seawolves added another score on a goal from Luciana Setteducate  in the 18th minute, assisted by Linn Beck and Mercy Sabuni Soderling. Stony Brook carried a 2-0 lead into the halftime break.

Stony Brook padded the lead to three goals on Beck’s 58th-minute goal, her first of the season. Setteducate and Rich assisted the goal. The Seawolves added another tally on a 65th-minute goal from Rich, her second of the contest. Hannah Maracina got in on the action, adding a goal in the 76th minute with an assist from Leah Rifas. The goal was Stony Brook’s fifth of the afternoon and the score would hold as the clock hit zeros at LaValle Stadium.

“The performance from the team today was very good, as I expected,” head coach Tobias Bischof noted postgame. “Today was a game where we could show what we can do offensively, and we did that. I was happy with the overall performance, both offensively and defensively.”

The team is back in action on Sept. 12 when they visit UMass Lowell. The game will streamlive at 5 p.m. on ESPN+.
