QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
“I thought the guys were fantastic today. They handled the pressure of being defending champions and the very warm conditions like professionals,” head coach Andy Ronan noted. “While not all of them had their their best run, they competed for each other. I’m so very proud of all 12 guys that tied the line this morning.”

“In my time at Stony Brook we’ve been through every possible situation on and off the course. We’ve been on both ends of the stick winning and losing, but seeing a talented young group of guys just show up, face adversity, running for each other is huge. After all the hard work we put in the summer, you’re working for moments like these. This moment, being back-to-back champions, running for each other, having the grit to battle it out when it gets hard. You can’t put a price on it, you can put a price on many things in life and out in the world,” Santos commented post meet. “But being a conference champion as a team and doing it for something bigger then yourself is priceless. A legacy that lives on forever, and our job is for the young guys to keep it going. I’m confident they will. They got the taste of winning and we’re always hungry for more.”

Stony Brook men’s soccer fell, 2-0, to Monmouth University on a rain-soaked Friday afternoon, Oct. 20, at LaValle Stadium. The loss moved the Seawolves into a tie for first place in the CAA with the Hawks entering the final week of the regular season.

Stony Brook kept Monmouth off the scoreboard in the first half before giving up two second-half goals. The Hawks enjoyed the majority of scoring chances in the first 45 minutes, finishing the first half with a 10-4 edge in shots and forcing Edmond Kaiser to turn away four potential scoring chances. The Hawks also saw a shot in the final minute of the half ring off the crossbar.

Monmouth broke through early on in the second half, converting on a set piece. Olle Brorsson headed home the first goal of the match after two of his teammates connected to head passes his way at the near post.

After Kaiser made a spectacular save on a would-be goal by Zakowski, it was again Brorsson who got the best of Kaiser. This time it was on a corner fed in by Erik Reis that found Brorsson’s head and eventually the back of the net to double the Hawks’ lead in the 55th minute.

The Seawolves totaled 12 shots in the loss, with three of them on goal. Despite ending the second half with an 8-5 edge in shots, Stony Brook was ultimately outshot 15-12 and 7-3 in shots on goal. 

“I thought it was a competitive game; these games at the end of the season, there’s a lot on the line. Ultimately, it came down to set pieces,” head coach Ryan Anatol noted postgame. “I don’t think we did a good enough job of defending them. We’ve got to do a little bit better to get the result.”

The team closed out its non-conference slate with its home finale on October 24 against the Lafayette Leopords. It was also the Seawolves’ senior night where graduating seniors Olsen Aluc, Iker Alvarado, Bas Beckhoven, Wilber Gomez, Trevor Harrison, Selcuk Kahveci, Sean Towey, Johan Velez and Carlos Zabarburu were honored. Results of the game were not available as of press time.

The Stony Brook University men’s soccer team and Le Moyne played to a 3-3 draw on Oct. 11  at LaValle Stadium. Olsen Aluc, Jonas Bickus and Trevor Harrison netted goals in the high-scoring affair.

Le Moyne took an early lead when Jakob Priestman scored in the fourth minute, breaking the ice with the assist from Ziad Abdul-Malak. The Seawolves responded before the end of the half, getting an equalizer from Harrison in the 40th minute. Harrison had an acrobatic finish on the pass from Moses Bakabulindi to level the score before the break.


Stony Brook took a 2-1 lead on Bickus’ 54th-minute goal, his seventh of the season, a new career high for the junior. Alex Fleury and Harrison had the helpers on the goal that put Stony Brook in front for the moment.

The Dolphins quickly evened the match with a 55th-minute penalty kick goal from Jack Goodrich. The Seawolves again regained the lead after Aluc netted a penalty kick of his own in the 62nd minute.

Le Moyne answered, getting a goal to level the match at 3-3 thanks to a 66th-minute header from Abdul-Malak. A magnificent late chance for Bickus on a cross from Aluc was turned away at the doorstep by Le Moyne’s Matthew Gera and the score would hold as the clock ran out on the Island.

“I didn’t think it was our best performance tonight,” head coach Ryan Anatol noted postgame. “We’ve got to defend better, we can’t give up three goals. The guys competed, battled, and worked, but overall I didn’t think it was our best performance.”
