GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Stony Brook women's lacrosse team was defeated for the first time this season Saturday, as No. 7/7 Stony Brook was downed 22-14 by No. 3/3 Florida at Donald R. Dizney Stadium. With the loss, the Seawolves drop to 5-1, while the Gators improve to 5-1.
Coach Spallina's Take
"Today was disappointing. Our defense was out of sync all day and that is a tribute to Florida, who did a great job of playing disciplined offense, and made a bunch of great hustle plays off ground balls that led to goals for them. That is an area we pride ourselves on and we were 'out-blue collared.'
"Offensively I liked our approach. That is a great defense so for us to put up the numbers we did is a great sign.
"I thought we needed to make a play during Florida's 7-0 run and we didn't. We will address our issues and get better from them but we need to be the scrappy hard-working team in order to be successful.l"
