The Stony Brook women’s basketball team opened up their 2024-25 home slate on Nov. 7 as head coach Joy McCorvey earned her first career win, leading the Seawolves to a 53-43 victory over Le Moyne on their home court.  

Zaida Gonzalez led the squad with 20 points and eight rebounds. Janay Brantley had an all-around performance tacking on five points, eight rebounds, four assists and two steals and Lauren Filien chipped in with eight points, six rebounds and two blocks.

Led by Dallysshya Moreno’s six offensive rebounds, Stony Brook did a great job crashing the offensive glass, pulling down 19 boards that resulted in 12 second chance points. The Seawolves’ defense held Le Moyne shooters to only 27.9 percent from the field, including 20 percent from three-point range. Stony Brook also kept the Dolphins’ Haedyn Roberts to 5-of-19 shooting in the game.

“I’m really proud of the team’s resiliency and the growth that we showed with such a quick turnaround after our game against Columbia,” stated head coach Joy McCorvey postgame. 

“We took a lot of teaching and learning moments from that game [Columbia] and I definitely saw some of that in tonight’s game. We’ve talked a lot about our effort and as we continue to define who we want to be as a team, we always want to be on the defensive end and that comes with resiliency and a dawg mentality. Tonight, they did just that. Shots weren’t falling for us, but they never wavered from what truly matters to our team and doing it on the defensive end,” she said.

The team returns to the court on Friday, Nov. 15 at 6 p.m. across the Long Island Sound at Yale. The Seawolves have gone 4-3 all-time against the Bulldogs with an 81-66 victory last season.  Coverage is available on ESPN+.

Stony Brook women’s soccer defended its home turf, defeating No. 3 Elon 2-1 on Nov. 3 in the semifinal round of the 2024 CAA Women’s Soccer Championship. The Seawolves earned a spot in the CAA Final and will face top-seeded Monmouth next weekend with a trip to the NCAA Tournament on the line.

Stony Brook broke the ice when Reilly Rich scored from the penalty spot in the 30th minute. Gabrielle Côté drew a foul in the box to create the opportunity for Rich, who converted to open the scoring on Sunday.

The Seawolves tacked on another score on a goal from Linn Beck — her ninth goal of the season — in the 40th minute. Aneta Sovakova played a picture-perfect ball into the box and behind the defense for Beck, who headed it home to pad Stony Brook’s lead.

Stony Brook’s defense limited Elon to just two shots in the first half, both of which were off target. The Seawolves’ offense generated eight chances, three of which were on net, as well as five corners in the opening 45 minutes of action.

The Phoenix finally tested Nicolette Pasquarella in the 76th minute, but the senior keeper was up to the task on Kennedy Jones’ shot. Elon got on the scoreboard with less than three minutes to play, cutting its deficit in half. The Seawolves did not allow another shot after the goal, closing out the victory in the CAA Semifinal.

“All year, since we got together in July, we prepared for those kind of games. When we started, we set a goal to make the championship game and win a championship. It always feel good to accomplish a goal,” head coach Tobias Bischof said. “Overall, I was very happy with the win.”

The team will face top-seeded Monmouth on Nov.  9 at 7 p.m. in the CAA Championship in West Long Branch, New Jersey. The match will stream live on FloFC.

We got to play better defensively and offensively we had a lot of missed opportunities as well that we needed to capitalize on. In November, you got to win and we found a way to win. We got a lot of things to correct moving forward, we’ll watch the tape tomorrow and move on to Albany.”

Stony Brook women’s soccer got a pair of goals from Reilly Rich in a 3-0 shutout victory over UNCW on senior day on Oct. 20 at LaValle Stadium. The Seawolves earned their sixth straight result and clinched CAA postseason berth with Sunday’s victory.

Stony Brook grabbed a 1-0 lead when Rich scored her fifth goal of the season, via a penalty kick, in the 37th minute. After a Seawolf was taken down in the box, Stony Brook was awarded the PK, which Rich buried on the left side of the goal.

The Seawolves added another score on a goal from Rich, this time after her shot deflected off a Seahawks’ defender, in the 46th minute. Mercy Sabuni Soderling and Emanuelly Ferreira assisted on Rich’s second goal of the match.

Stony Brook went up 3-0 on Linn Beck’s 61st-minute goal, her seventh of the season. Aneta Sovakova assisted on the goal, feeding a perfect pass from the corner that Beck headed home to the far side of the net.

Nicolette Pasquarella made five saves, including a pair of highlight-reel stops to keep UNCW off the board entirely and pick up her 10th win of the season.

“Happy with the overall performance today. We scored the first goal at the right time, just before half, that gave us the security and belief for the second half,” head coach Tobias Bischof noted postgame. “I thought we played a very clean game, created some good scoring opportunities and scored our goals at the right time.”

Stony Brook University recently unveiled a new statue of everyone’s favorite mascot, Wolfie, on the Academic Mall. 

The 7-foot-tall bronze sculpture created by artist Virgil Oertle stands behind a bench where fellow Seawolves can come over and relax, or take a photo. Funds were generously donated by alumnus Ken Marcus, Class of 1971.

Interim President Richard McCormick said the university was thrilled to present the statue to the community, and hoped it will be an enduring symbol of the pride of Stony Brook.

“Wolfie spans many generations of Seawolves, connecting us all through his spirit and tenacity,” McCormick said. “He is authentic, confident, inspiring and a supportive friend, reflecting the best of who we are as a community, and as individuals.”

Stony Brook women’s soccer secured a 3-2 victory against Delaware on Oct. 13 at Stuart & Suzanne Grant Stadium in Newark Delaware behind goals from Gabby Daniels, Hannah Maracina and Reilly Rich. The Seawolves moved into a three-way tie for second place in the CAA with the win.

Stony Brook started the scoring when Reilly Rich recorded her third goal of the season in the 35th minute. Rich buried her second penalty kick of the season, opening the scoring after a Delaware foul in the box.

The Seawolves increased their lead to 2-0 on a goal from Hannah Maracina — her third goal of the season — in the 36th minute, assisted by Kristina Garcia. The strike saw Maracina get airborne, similar to her score in the win over Hampton earlier this week.

Delaware closed the gap to 2-1 on Brooke Vogel’s 57th-minute goal, assisted by Morgan Tilley.

The Seawolves went back ahead by two goals on a goal from Gabby Daniels, her third goal of the season. Emanuelly Ferreira had the lone assist on the goal, providing the helper off of a setpiece from the corner.

Delaware made it a 3-2 game on Olivia Bley’s goal in the 82nd minute. Nicolette Pasquarella made one final save down the stretch, helping Stony Brook stave off a potential Delaware comeback.

“Compliments to the team. We played a good team on the road and had to change some things around. The girls did an amazing job adjusting and deserved the win,” head coach Tobias Bischof said. “The first half was very good, especially with the 18-2 shot advantage.”

The team returns to action on Oct. 20, hosting UNC Wilmington at LaValle Stadium for senior day. The Seawolves and Seahawks are scheduled for a 1 p.m. kickoff with the contest streaming live on FloFC.
