Stony Brook, N.Y. - The #Seawolves will attempt to stay perfect at home this season when they host Maine in an America East matchup on Thursday at 7 p.m.

Home Cooking

The #Seawolves have turned LaValle Stadium into a fortress. Since the start of the 2012 season they have recorded a 17-2-3 on their home turf, including a 9-1 mark a season ago. Something will have to give Thursday night. Stony Brook is undefeated at home while Maine is winless on the road.

Scouting Maine

Maine sits 2-6-2 largely because they have struggled to score goals. The Black Bears have found the net just six times in 10 games, with three of those coming in a 3-3 tie with Central Connecticut. They have been shutout in six of the 10 games they have played. Junior Charlene Archille has scored four of Maine’s six goals. Senior Jordan Pellerine is also a scoring threat, sitting second on the team with four points on a goal and two assists. The Black Bears tied Binghamton 0-0 in their America East opener.

Last Season

The Seawolves and Black Bears played two thrilling games a season ago with Stony Brook narrowly prevailing in both. The Seawolves topped the Black Bears 2-1 in double overtime in the regular-season finale thanks to a goal from sophomore Elise Pratt (Sicklerville, N.J.). The two sides would meet again in the America East semifinal. Redshirt senior Ashley Castanio set a career-high with 16 saves in the match then stopped two more in penalty kicks to send the #Seawolves to the America East final. 

Fly Raven Fly

Redshirt sophomore Raven Edwards (West Orange, N.J.) has picked up right where she left off in 2012, despite missing the 2013 season with an injury. Edwards, who was an America East All-Rookie selection as a freshman in 2012 after netting five goals, leads Stony Brook with four goals and eight points. Her four goals also rank tied-for-sixth in the America East.

Lending a Helping Hand

With three assists in her last two games, junior Tessa Devereaux (Fayetteville, N.Y.) has moved into a tie-for second place in the conference with five assists, one behind the conference’s leader, Lisa Nanov from UMBC. Her five assists run her career total to 14, which ranks tied-for seventh in school history. She is seven assists shy of the school record, set by Noreen Heiligenstadt, and five shy of the school’s Division I record, set by Beth Arikian.
