The Stony Brook women’s soccer team celebrated senior day with a pair of goals from Luciana Setteducate in the 4-2 win over Elon at LaValle Stadium on Oct. 15. Before the match, the squad honored their decorated senior class who have made lasting impacts on the women’s soccer program. 

The Stony Brook offense was sizzling all afternoon, tallying 21 shots, the second-most the squad has recorded this season (27 against Hampton on Sept. 10). After Linn Beck tallied the first shot of the match in the third minute, Gabrielle Cote followed with a shot of her own in the seventh minute that Setteducate rebounded into the back of the net for her first goal of the season.

Nearly 20 minutes later, the Seawolves increased their lead to 2-0 with a goal from Ashley Bell — her second of the season — in the 27th minute, that was assisted by Beck. Beck sent a ball up the right sideline and Bell used her speed to get past the Phoenix defender and collect the goal.

Nicolette Pasquarella would tally three of her four first-half saves over the final 18 minutes of action to maintain the 2-0 lead heading into the half.

After Elon got on the board to make it a 2-1 match on Lydia Totten’s 53rd-minute goal, the Seawolves answered right back in the 67th minute to take a 3-1 lead. It was Setteducate again tallying the goal following a pass into the box from Catharina von Drigalski that Setteducate headed home.

Stony Brook took a 4-1 lead on Kerry Pearson’s goal via a von Drigalski’s corner kick in the 68th minute, Pearson’s third of the season. The Phoenix narrowed the score to 4-2 thanks to a 76th-minute goal from Ashlee Brehio, but Ava King would notch two more saves in the final 15 minutes of play to secure the victory.

The team will return to the pitch on Oct. 19 for their regular-season finale when they head to Boston to battle Northeastern at 6 p.m.

Stony Brook tennis finished up its fall season at the Hofstra Invite from Oct. 13 to 15, highlighting its weekend by winning 6-of-8 singles matches on the final day to complete its weekend at the Hofstra University Tennis Courts.

The Seawolves finished 10-5 overall in singles play while also winning three doubles matches during the weekend. Freshman Mia Palladino and sophomore Debby Mastrodima each won both of their singles matches, while the duo of Chandrika Joshi and Darian Perfiliev combined to win both of its doubles matches for the weekend. 

All nine players that competed this past weekend picked up at least one win, with seven doing so in singles. Palladino finished with seven singles wins for the fall season for SBU, winning at least one in each competition. 

“We fought hard, but missed some opportunities in both doubles and singles on day one. However, on the second day of the event, we stepped up and were able to collect some good wins in doubles and carry on the momentum into singles,” said head coach Thiago Dualiby.

The Stony Brook University men’s soccer team took down the Charleston Cougars, 1-0, on the road on Oct. 7. Jonas Bickus tallied the lone goal of the contest, his team-leading sixth of the season, and Edmond Kaiser registered a second consecutive shutout, stopping all four shots he faced.

It was a quiet start to a physical contest in South Carolina, though Stony Brook had multiple opportunities offensively early on. Three consecutive corner kicks in the opening 10 minutes did not lead to a shot by the Seawolves, but later tries from Caleb Danquah and Bickus missed the mark. It was a chance in transition that would lead to the game’s lone goal.

Following a red card issued to a Charleston player, who took down a Stony Brook attacker just outside the box as he got behind the defense, the Seawolves opened the scoring. Lorenzo Selini rolled a short pass to Bickus, who blasted a right-footed shot off the fingertips of the keeper and into the right side of the net to put the Seawolves on top 1-0. The Cougars would take the ensuing kickoff down a man and at a disadvantage in the scoring column as well.

The score held heading into the second half and it would hold for the remainder of the match. Stony Brook continued to move forward in the second half, even as time dwindled. Offensively, the Seawolves had multiple scoring chances to put the game away, but could not convert. Defensively, Stony Brook held strong and did not allow Charleston to possess much or create many chances in the offensive third. 

The team returned home to host Le Moyne on Oct. 11. The score was not available as of press time.

The Stony Brook volleyball team grabbed its sixth win in a row after defeating the Hampton Lady Pirates in straight sets (25-18, 25-12, 25-12) on Oct. 8 at Holland Hall, Hampton University in Hampton, VA.

The Seawolves’ offense was paced by Kali Moore, who finished with a team-high 12 kills on the day while accumulating a hitting percentage of .385, and by Abby Stanwood, who had 10 kills while hitting .563. Defensively, the squad had two players reach double figures in digs as Leoni Kunz had 13 and Julia Patsos tallied 12. 

SET 1: The Seawolves won the first point and never trailed to win the first set 25-18. Stony Brook led by as many as nine points at 18-9 after a kill by Moore before ultimately finishing off the set. 

SET 2: After their win in the first set, Stony Brook put itself on the cusp of a sweep with a dominating 25-12 victory in set number two. The Seawolves took control of the set lead early on at 2-1 following a kill by Lauren Schmitz, and went on to score 10 of the first 12 points as five different-student athletes recorded a kill. To finish the set, Stony Brook opened its biggest lead of the stanza, 13 points, totaling 20 kills in the process.

SET 3: Stony Brook then ended the match with a victory in set number three to secure the sweep. The Seawolves led from the opening point on in the set to earn a 25-12 victory. The squad ended on a high note following the kill by Katie Hickey, claiming its biggest lead, 13 points, to close out the set. The Stony Brook offense also got a boost from three aces in the stanza, including two from Patsos. 

“I thought we came out a little slow today but picked up our aggressiveness on offense, especially in transition to earn our points. I’m proud of our group for coming in focused this week. We have an important stretch coming up and I’m excited to continue to get better with this team,” said head coach Kristin Belzung. 

The team returns to the court next weekend when they host Delaware University at Pritchard Gymnasium for a matchup on Saturday at 11 a.m., and Sunday beginning at 1 p.m.

Stony Brook held William & Mary scoreless and cruised to a 4-0 shutout victory on Oct. 1 at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium to hand the Tribe their first loss of the season.

The Seawolves and Tribe were trading shots back and forth early, as Nicolette Pasquarella made two crucial saves in the 16th and 35th minute to keep William & Mary off the scoreboard. Stony Brook then grabbed a 1-0 lead when Graceann Murphy used her fancy footwork to score her second goal of the season in the 39th minute, assisted by Luciana Setteducate.

Right before the break, the Seawolves grabbed a 2-0 advantage on a penalty-kick goal from Reilly Rich — her sixth goal of the season — in the 45th minute. The squad was in total control of the match in the second half by tallying two more goals and just allowing three shots by the Tribe. 

Stony Brook went up 3-0 following Gabrielle Côté’s fourth goal of the season, a 75th-minute tally that was assisted by Murphy.

The Seawolves would go ahead 4-0 with an 84th-minute goal from Sammy Hannwacker, her first goal of the season, to secure the victory over the unbeaten William & Mary women’s soccer team. The victory boosted Stony Brook’s record to 4-4-4 overall and 2-3-2 in CAA play. 

The team will return to the pitch on Oct 5 when they head to Wilmington to battle UNCW.

The Stony Brook men’s soccer team got a pair of goals from Jonas Bickus in a 3-1 win against University of North Carolina Wilmington on Sept. 30 at LaValle Stadium.

Stony Brook broke the scoreless tie when Bickus netted his fifth goal of the season after Alex Fleury sent a ball into the box from nearly 20 yards, which Bickus finished with a fancy touch.

The Seawolves scored again on a goal from Caleb Danquah just one minute later, his first goal of his Stony Brook career. Again, it was assisted by Fleury after Lorenzo Selini sent him over a pass that Danquah redirected into the back of the net for the 2-0 advantage.

The squad would build its lead to 3-0 on Bickus’ 27th-minute goal, his second brace of the 2023 season. This time it was assisted by Olsen Aluc; after a missed shot, Bickus was in the right place at the right time to head it home and give Stony Brook the three-goal advantage.

The Seahawks tallied a goal in the 37th minute on a corner kick to cut the deficit to 3-1, which held heading into the intermission. However, Edmond Kasier kept the Seahawks at ease in the second half, making five saves to secure the 3-1 victory.

The team fell to 0-3 on the season while the Red Wolves picked up their first win, improving to 1-2. A-State enjoyed a big advantage on the ground, holding a 345-90 advantage in the rushing game.

Quarterback Casey Case passed for 221 yards, while completing 21-of-33 (63.6%) passes with the touchdown to Hart. Stony Brook finished with a 221-140 advantage in receiving yards.

“After we struggled to execute on the first couple drives, we punched back from the end of the first quarter through the end of the quarter and could have cut into the lead or even tied the game, we’ve just got to figure out how to capitalize. I think we figured out the speed of the game defensively and executed some of the things we practiced in that stretch, credit to the kids there,” said Stony Brook head coach Chuck Priore.

Stony Brook men’s soccer rallied from down a goal to defeat Delaware 3-2 on Sept. 16 at LaValle Stadium. Trevor Harrison netted the game-winning goal in the 83rd minute, heading home a cross from Moses Bakabulindi on a corner.

The Seawolves kicked things off less than five minutes into the contest when Jonas Bickus notched his third goal of the season, heading home a beauty of a cross from Olsen Aluc. Delaware evened the game three minutes later after Lorenzo Selini was called for a foul in the box, leading to a penalty-kick goal that Sam Donnellan buried.

Stony Brook was whistled for a handball in the box in the 37th minute, leading to a second Blue Hens’ goal from the penalty spot. This time it was Delaware’s leading scorer Carlos Fernandez, who beat Kaiser to the lower-left corner for the go-ahead tally.

After a scoreless finish to the rest of the first half, Stony Brook found the equalizer in the 47th minute. Bickus found the back of the net, his second of the match and his third goal of the season, scoring from the ground after playing the ball to himself on the pass from Bakabulindi.

 Stony Brook would break the tie in the 83rd minute when Harrison headed home a Bakabulindi feed off a set-piece from the near corner. Harrison’s first goal of the season held as the game-winner, helping Stony Brook remain unbeaten in CAA play and grab sole possession of first place in the league’s table.

“Obviously a great win and good to get three points at home. Overall I thought we played pretty well,” head coach Ryan Anatol noted postgame. “We did a good job of winning the ball and looking to play forward. I still think we’ve got to defend a little better in and around the box, but overall it was a good performance.”

The team  returns to action a week from today, traveling to face Northeastern on Sept. 26 in Boston.

The squad led from the first point and never looked back by tallying 15 kills in the set on .344 attack percentage. Kali Moore and Leoni Kunz both tallied two kills in the final five points to take the set and ultimately the three-set sweep.

Moore finished with 16 kills on the day to lead the Seawolves attack while finishing with a hitting percentage of .323. Defensively, Stony Brook had two players reach double figures in digs as Torri Henry had 16 and Julia Patsos had 10. Also, Henry led the way with 32 assists for the Seawolves.

“It was great to end the weekend with a win and I thought we approached this match with maturity. We managed rallies until we had opportunities and ultimately found a way to score. I was excited to see our crew gut out a win, especially in the second set when it got tight. We are very excited to open CAA play next weekend at home,” said head coach Kristin Belzung.

The team returns to the court next weekend when the squad hosts Northeastern University at Pritchard Gymnasium for their first CAA action of the season.
