Stony Brook, N.Y. - Joanna Dawson and Jaime Clark each notched a goal and an assist to lead St. John's (11-8) past Stony Brook (7-9-1) in a Division I women's soccer matchup Sunday afternoon at University Field.

The Seawolves got on the board first in the 17th minute on a beautiful goal by Lauren Canino. Midfielder Lisa Mariano raced down the sideline and lofted a cross in front of the Red Storm goal which Canino volleyed past Tina Fogg to give Stony Brook a 1-0 lead.

St. John's got even in the 36th minute when Dawson sent a ball upfield that Diane Abeles chipped over Lori Nelson who got caught out of the goal and the game was even at one. Later in the half, a defensive breakdown led to an own goal that gave St. John's the lead. A giveaway deep in Stony Brook's end saw Dawson cross the ball in front of the Stony Brook goal which glanced off defender Emily Snyder towards Stony Brook's goal. Snyder attempted to keep the ball out of the net but her clearing attempt hit just underneath the crossbar and St. John's led 2-1.

The Red Storm took control early in the second half when Clark fed Dawson down the middle of the field who pushed it underneath a sliding Nelson for a 3-1 advantage at 49:55.

In the 60th minute, the Seawolves got back into the game when Mariano sent another cross in front of the Red Storm goal that Kerri McCabe settled and then rifled a low left-footed shot past Fogg just inside the right post to slice the lead to 3-2. It was McCabe's 12th goal of the season.

Late in the game, Stony Brook pushed everybody forward but was unable to get the equalizer. As a result, St. John's was able clear the ball over Nelson who was out of the goal around midfield. Clark ran onto the loose ball and put it in the open goal with :19 remaining.

Fogg made 11 saves to earn the win while Nelson made seven stops in the loss.

Stony Brook is back in action next Sunday when it travels to Columbia to take on the Lions at 12:00 p.m.
