Stony Brook, N.Y. - The Stony Brook University women's lacrosse team used a potent offense and some great goaltending to power past Boston Univeristy, 16-13, at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium. The Seawolves have now won six in a row and stand a 9-1, 2-0 in America East play while the Terriers fall to 4-5, 1-1. The win was the first ever over the Terriers in program history and tied the program mark for most wins in a season.

"Today's game was a true challenge for our team," said head coach Allison Comito. "We knew coming in that BU was a very good team, but today we proved to ourselves and to others that we are a very talented team."

Amy Taylor opened up the scoring at the 28:09 off a feed from Katie Savino to give the home squad a quick 1-0 lead.
