Doherty Player of the Week

Junior goalkeeper Emily Doherty (Oceanside, N.Y.) was named the America East Player of the Week after stopping 20 of the 21 shots she faced in Stony Brook’s two games last week. Doherty made 17 saves, the most by a Stony Brook goalkeeper in 17 years, to help the Seawolves record a road point at Binghamton. She followed up her career performance with a three-save shutout of UMass Lowell in Stony Brook’s 1-0 victory on Sunday. She ranks second in the America East in goals against average (1.03), save pct. (.855), and saves per game (5.0).

Dangerous Devereaux

Senior Tessa Devereaux’s (Fayetteville, N.Y.) move to the left flank has paid dividends for the Seawolves. Since she assumed her new role on the left, the Seawolves have gone 3-0-1 and Devereaux has recorded a goal and an assist. She assisted on the only goal Sunday in Stony Brook’s 1-0 win over UMass Lowell, moving into solo fourth on the school’s all-time assist list, and is one assist shy of tying Beth Arikian for the school’s Division I assist record.
