Hall of Fame
Demmianne Cook, the most prolific goal scorer in Stony Brook women's lacrosse history, rewrote the history books during her stellar two-year playing career at Stony Brook. The Nesconset, Long Island, native netted a school-record 158 career goals and led the nation with 90 goals in 2013, a mark that is tied for 18th-most in a single season in NCAA history. She helped a program that won just four games in 2011 win its first-ever NCAA game, an 8-6 victory over Towson in 2013.
One of the nation's best two-way players during her time on Long Island, Cook also set a program record when she controlled 96 draws in 2013 and finished her career at Stony Brook third all-time in draw controls (157) and fifth in points (173).
Cook became Stony Brook's first-ever Tewaaraton nominee and was named to the watchlist for the prestigious award in each of her two seasons as a Seawolf. She also garnered multiple All-America honors, being named one of the top players in the country by various media outlets throughout her career.
Upon the completion of her collegiate career, Cook played in the North-South Senior All-Star game before becoming a member of the inaugural Team STX squad, the nation's first elite post-collegiate women's lacrosse team. Cook served on Spallina's staff in 2014 and 2015, helping guide her alma mater to back-to-back America East titles, NCAA Tournament appearances and ranked wins over Florida, Northwestern, Notre Dame and UAlbany.
Cook went on to earn her Master of Business Administration in Sports Management from Lynn University in 2021 and is currently a Physical Education teacher and coach at Pine Crest School in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area of Florida. Success has followed Cook into the coaching ranks, seeing the former Seawolf be named the Broward County Lacrosse Coach of the Year in 2026.
