STONY BROOK, N.Y. — After a thrilling season-opening win against No. 4 Syracuse at the Carrier Dome on Monday, the Stony Brook women's lacrosse team earned a victory in less dramatic fashion on Saturday.

Led by four goals apiece from Sarah Pulis, Ally Kennedy and Kailyn Hart, the Seawolves took down Ohio State, 20-7, on Saturday afternoon at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium.

"This was a test for our team," head coach Joe Spallina said. "We're so young, so to be able to handle success is something you want to see on your team. We jumped out and I thought we played a good first half to be up the way we were. I'm proud of our kids to get a big win, to be 2-0 and to get a win at home."

Charlotte Verhulst scored her first career goal two minutes into the game, the first of eight unanswered goals by the Seawolves over the opening 15 minutes. 

Four of those goals came from Pulis, including a personal three-goal run. The junior now owns a hat trick in both games this season.

The Seawolves took a 12-3 lead into the half, then scored six of the first eight goals of the second half to leave the Buckeyes in the dust.

Along with Verhulst, also scoring their first career goals were fellow freshmen Erin MacQuarrie and Lexie Correia.

Rayna Sabella and Sara Moeller notched their first goals of the season as well.

The Seawolves had 10 total different goal scorers.

Kira Accettella led the way with four assists.

"This win shows that we've matured a lot, we took this preseason very seriously and that we can turn the page," Kennedy said. "Beating Syracuse was great, but always a faceless opponent and it's always about us."

Stony Brook has a two-week hiatus before returning to action Feb. 29 at No. 14 Florida.
