The Wildcats held Stony Brook scoreless in the second half and cruised to the 19-3 win. SBU's Gina DeNezzo made eight saves in the loss.

Stony Brook is back in action on Sunday when they travel to Vermont for a pivotal conference matchup that will determine who qualifies for the America East Championship next week. Face-off is 11:00 a.m.

A win guarantees the Seawolves a postseason berth. A loss could force a three-way tie with Albany and Vermont which would result in a coin toss to determine who plays in next week's tournament.
