ORONO, Maine – Stony Brook women's soccer dropped its 2017 America East opener, 1-0, at Maine on Sunday afternoon. With the loss, the Seawolves fall to 4-7-0 (0-1-0 AEC) so far this season.
Quoting Head Coach Brendan Faherty
"A disappointing result for our group, but full credit to Maine as they were very organized defensively and good on attacking restarts. We created a few quality chances, but at the end of the day, we weren't creative enough in the attacking third to score a goal. We will get back to work with training Tuesday morning and focus on getting a positive result on Thursday against UMass Lowell."
Final: Maine 1, Stony Brook 0
- Priscilla Domingo scored the game's lone goal for the Black Bears 4:53 into the second half, putting the ball in the back of the net through traffic in front to make it 1-0 Maine.
- Freshman goalkeeper Sofia Manner (Helsinki, Finland) recorded four saves in the loss. She now has 42 total stops in her first collegiate season, allowing just 11 goals in 10 games played.
- The Seawolves out shot Maine 20-7, while also holding the advantage in corner kicks (6-1). Stony Brook has recorded double-digit shot totals in six of 11 games in 2017, and have out-shot its opponent in four of its last six contests.
