Goodwin's late goal completes comeback win, Seawolves hand New Hampshire first conference loss

STONY BROOK, N.Y –  Samantha Goodwin (Westbury, N.Y.) scored the game-winning goal in the 85th minute, as Stony Brook women's soccer topped New Hampshire, 2-1, at LaValle Stadium on Sunday afternoon in America East play. With the victory, the Seawolves move to 7-7-0 (3-1-0 AEC) so far in 2017.
 
Quoting Head Coach Brendan Faherty
"I'm really happy for our student-athletes, I thought they worked hard. They didn't drop their heads when we gave up the early goal, they continued with the game plan and they were rewarded with two goals and a win against a really, really good New Hampshire team... Every game right now is so important. Through four games, we've put ourselves in a really good position."
 
Final: Stony Brook 2, New Hampshire 1
  • New Hampshire's Kaylan Williams scored the game's first goal just 16:10 into action, dribbling into the box and tapping in her own shot to make it 1-0 Wildcats.
  • Freshman Rachel Florenz (East Islip, N.Y.) got the Seawolves on the board in the 34th minute to tie the game 1-1. The freshman collected a ball played into the box from Fanny Gotesson (Varnamo, Sweden), then chipped it over the New Hampshire goalkeeper Mia Neas to even the contest. The goal is the freshman's sixth so far in 2017.
  • Goodwin's game-winner came with just 5:18 left in action. Gotesson dribbled down the left side of the field and passed toward goal, then Goodwin collected the loose ball off a rebound and blasted it home for her first goal in 2017. The game-winner is the senior's second career-goal. 
  • Freshman goalkeeper Sofia Manner (Helsinki, Finland) made one save in the win, earning her sixth victory of the season.
  • Stony Brook out-shot New Hampshire 12-8, and attempted four corner kicks on the afternoon. The Seawolves have now recorded more shots than their opponent in seven of their last nine contests.
