Stony Brook University Athletics

In two seasons at Stony Brook, Petersen helped elevate the women’s lacrosse program into the national spotlight. Petersen was the program’s first All-American in 2012 and led the team to their first-ever NCAA Tournament berth in 2013. Over the course of two seasons, she recorded 174 points as she tallied 69 goals and registered 105 assists in just 33 games. Her 105 assists are the fourth-most in program history and her 174 points are the 10th-most. Petersen is one of just four Seawolves to dish out over 100 assists in a season and she holds the NCAA records for assists in a game with 11 and assists per game in a career with 3.18. In 2013, she played the final four games of her career with a torn ACL and partially torn meniscus, tallying 11 points and playing a pivotal role in the Seawolves’ America East Championship and NCAA Tournament First Round win during that span.
