UMBC (5-6) outscored visiting Stony Brook (8-6), 7-0, in the second quarter and went on to post an 11-3 non-conference victory over the Seawolves at UMBC Stadium.

With the score tied at 1-1 after fifteen minutes, UMBC scored three times the first 3:36 of the second quarter. Sophomores Mac Chase and Franklin Berry and freshman Travis Tomczak all tallied in that span, followed by back-to-back scores by Joey Kestermann and Leigh DiPace at 6:43 and 6:58 respectively. Chase scored an extra-man goal at 13:03, and Matt Gallagher gave UMBC its seventh goal of the quarter on a rebound at the 14:04 mark.
