Quoting Head Coach Brendan Faherty
"New Hampshire's a really good team – they have some really good attacking players – so to be able to get a shutout and the win on the road says a lot about our group. But as the game went on, I thought we got control of it. We were able to get into our passing rhythm and get some chances down the flanks. We were finally rewarded with a good goal… Kimmy Chavkin set up the goal, and it was a great finish by Manu [Corcho]… We've worked really hard for this, and I'm excited that we get to continue to play and go up against a really good Vermont team next weekend in the championship game."

Final: Stony Brook 1, New Hampshire 0

• Corcho's game winner came at 75:15. Kimmy Chavkin (Franklin, N.J.) played a perfect ball in to Corcho, who then popped a shot up over the Wildcats' keeper to give the Seawolves a late lead. The goal is Corcho's second of the year, while Chavkin now has a team-high five asssists in 2017.
• Freshman goalkeeper Sofia Manner (Helsinki, Finland) made five saves, earning her fifth shutout of the year in the win.
