HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — When the horn sounded on Friday night at Hofstra's Shuart Stadium, Stony Brook's defense held Hofstra to six goals on just 13 shots.
On the offensive end,
Ellie Masera had six by herself, powering the Seawolves to a 12-6 win at their Long Island rivals on Friday night.
The reigning IWLCA Co-Offensive Player of the Week and two-time conference honoree scored the first two of the night for the visiting Seawolves and the offense was off and running.
After splitting the first six goals of the contest evenly, Stony Brook pulled away with a three-goal spurt started and finished by Masera, with a
Kyla Zapolski tally sandwiched in the middle.
The Pride would cut the lead to one at 6-5 midway through the third, but Stony Brook would seize control, scoring six in a row to put the finishing touches on the victory.
