PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Caleb Pearson's late-game heroics continued Saturday.

This time, he did not require overtime.

Pearson scored the game-tying and go-ahead goals in a 2½-minute span as Stony Brook rallied from a three-goal fourth-quarter deficit to defeat Rutgers, 14-13, at SHI Stadium.

Renz Conlon won all 10 faceoffs in the fourth quarter and the Seawolves scored six unanswered goals to turn to an 11-8 deficit into a three-goal lead.

Rutgers had two late tallies to pull within a goal with 63 seconds remaining, but Conlon won the final of those 10 straight faceoffs to seal the victory.

"Really, in the first half, we just didn't play our best ball," coach Anthony Gilardi said. "That's what it came down to. I think offensively, defensively in the faceoff X, clearing the ball, we just weren't ourselves. We challenged the boys at halftime. We responded. It was the faceoff X. Defensively we played better. Offensively we played better. That's what we're most proud of. There's a lot to learn from. How we responded was excellent."

Pearson previously had scored overtime winners against St. John's and Brown this season.

Conlon, Matt Anderson, Connor Grippe and Wayne White also scored during the 6-0 run to rally the Seawolves to victory.

"We had a rough first half. The energy wasn't there," Pearson said. "But all the guys brought it together during the second half. The guys weren't selfish. Everyone was working with everyone and things were clicking."

Noah Armitage and Austin Deskewicz scored their first collegiate goals in the victory.

Deskewicz, who took over handling faceoffs after halftime from Conlon, immediately paid dividends.

Reminiscent of Conlon's goal to begin the fourth quarter in Tuesday's win against Hofstra, Deskewicz won a third-quarter faceoff, raced down the field and bounced a shot past goalkeeper Stephen Russo five seconds later to even the score at 7.

After Deskewicz left the game with an apparent injury, Conlon duplicated the faceoff-to-goal feat to begin the comeback from the 11-8 deficit against Rutgers (2-3).

"We had our tough first half and coach [Tommy] Kelly talked us up, recognized the issues and we just addressed those issues," Renz said.

The Seawolves (4-1) evened the all-time series with Rutgers at six wins apiece.

One down note: Patrick Kaschalk and Deskewicz needed assistance leaving the field after suffering apparent third-quarter injuries. Neither returned.
 
Stony Brook returns to action Tuesday when it faces Sacred Heart at St. Anthony's High School in South Huntington at 6 p.m.

"We've got to watch the film. We've got to learn from it," Gilardi said. "We have to continue to get better. We've got a quick turnaround for a tough Sacred Heart team."
