STONY BROOK, N.Y. – For the second time in the last three seasons, the Stony Brook women's soccer team is on to the America East Women's Soccer Championship Game after a 2-1 win over fourth-seeded New Hampshire on Thursday night at LaValle Stadium.
 
Junior Erin O'Connor (Setauket, N.Y.) scored two goals in a span of four minutes, giving the Seawolves the lead on each occasion, to aid the Seawolves attack.
 
BISCHOF'S REACTION
"New Hampshire is a very well-coached team with a lot of seniors. They performed really well and made it hard for us to find our offensive groove. We have some players who can shine in those moments and it was an overall great team effort. We know we can score if we create chances and just made a couple changes at halftime and it worked out for us."

SCORING SUMMARY

• 60^th minute – Stony Brook 1, New Hampshire 0 – It was a trio of juniors making the play as Kimmy Chavkin (Franklin, N.J.) played a ball long to be flicked on by Fanny Götesson (Varnamo, Sweden) to O'Connor, who took a touch to her right foot and fired it home.
