Final Stats

Boca Raton, Fla. - Senior Allie Pisciotta (New Hyde Park, N.Y.) went 3-for-5 with five rbi to lead the Stony Brook softball team (4-6) over the Maryland Terrapins (5-10) on the final day of the Florida Atlantic Tournament, 10-4. 

Bryant's Reaction

"This was a well-played team win for us," said head coach Megan Bryant. "It was our best game of the year executing on offense. Maddy and Jane combined to give us a solid effort in the circle and our defense came up with some big plays. It's a great way to end the weekend and move forward as we progress as a team."

Turning Point

Stony Brook jumped out to a 4-1 lead before the Terrapins rallied to pull within one, 4-3. The Seawolves used a four-run fifth inning to pull away. Sophomore Caroline Seeberg (Warwick, N.Y.) opened the frame with a walk and scored after sophomore Ileana Torres's (Debary, Fla.) ground ball was thrown away. Sophomore Chelsea Evans (Merced, Calif.) joined Torres on base with a single before Pisciotta cleared the bases with a three-run homer, her second of the season.

Notes

• After scoring 10 runs through its first eight games, Stony Brook has scored 17 runs over its last two. 
• The Seawolves' ten hits were a season-high. In addition to Pisciotta's three, Evans, senior Kellie Reynolds (Paso Robles, Calif.) and junior Lexie Shue (Lakewood, Calif.) had two.
• Sophomore Maddy Neales (Orange, Calif.) recorded her first win of the season, working 3.1 innings and holding the Terrapins to three runs. Senior Jane Sallen (Lake Worth, Fla.) entered the game with the bases loaded in the fourth, escaping with a strikeout. She would work the final 3.1 innings, allowing just one run.
• Stony Brook executed three sacrifice bunts and went 7-for-23 with runners on base.
