Final Stats

Stony Brook, N.Y. - Redshirt junior Raven Edwards (West, Orange, N.J.) continued her torrid scoring pace with two goals on Wednesday night as the Stony Brook women's soccer team concluded its non-conference slate with a 2-2 draw vs. Fairfield.

Ryan's Reaction
"I thought it was a good game," said head coach Sue Ryan. "It was a competitive game that allowed us to see what kind of depth we have because we were able to play a lot of players. I thought we scored two really good goals and it was good preparation for Sunday, when we open conference play at Vermont." 

Highlights

• Edwards improved to 3-for-3 in penalty kicks this year, scoring from the spot in the 14th minute. She was awarded the opportunity after senior Emily Murrer (Aptos, Calif.) was taken down in the box.
• Brenna Brown equaled Edwards with a two-goal night. She tied the game up in the 24th minute, finishing a cross from the top of the 6 yard box.
• Edwards put the Seawolves in front once more with a rasping shot in the 77th minute. The shot hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced over the goal line.
• Brown evened the match at 2-2 in the 87th minute, heading home a rebound from close range. 

Notes

• Edwards vaulted into second place in the America East in goals with five and points with 12. Her five-goal output matches her career-high, which she set as a freshman in 2012. Four of her five goals have come over the last three matches. 
• Ryan used a season-high 24 players in the draw. Ten different players recorded a shot.
• Stony Brook outshot the Stags 22-18 for the match, including 7-2 in the two overtime sessions. 
• Junior Emily Doherty (Oceanside, N.Y.) and freshman Cara Gallagher (Massapequa, N.Y.) combined to make nine saves in goal.
• Edwards recorded a game-high six shots. Her brace marked her second career two-goal game. She was the last Stony Brook player to record two goals in a game, doing so at Siena on Aug. 28, 2014. 

Up Next

The Seawolves embark on their conference schedule starting on Sunday when they travel to Vermont to play the Catamounts. Kickoff is scheduled for noon.
