STONY BROOK, N.Y. — Gabby Daniels recorded her second goal of the night and the Stony Brook women's soccer team controlled 66 percent of the possession, but the Seawolves were held to a 1-1 draw against Manhattan on Thursday night at LaValle Stadium.
The Lawrenceville, Ga., native punched home a corner kick from
Catharina von Drigalski, knotting the proceedings at one with her second goal of the season.
Manhattan got its goal against the run of play in the 28th minute, as Sami Derrico slipped a one-time shot into the Stony Brook net to give the visitors the lead. It was one of only three shots on the night for the Jaspers.
Stony Brook had a chance to equalize 10 minutes earlier than it did, as a cross fell to
Reilly Rich but her shot from just inside the 6-yard box was cleared off the line by the Manhattan defense.
STATS AND NOTES
- Daniels became the fifth Seawolves player to record multiple goals on the year. She joins Linn Beck, Hannah Maracina and Sammy Hannwacker all with two goals on the season. Rich maintains the team lead with four.
- von Drigalski recorded her second assist on the season, joining Beck in second on the team leaderboard.
- The Seawolves recorded a team-high nine corners on the night, while the 18 shots are one off the team's highest mark of 19 against Fordham on opening night.
- On the defensive end, Manhattan's three total shots and two on frame are both the lowest allowed by the Stony Brook back line this season. The next highest shot total was nine against Fordham.
QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"The performance was good I thought but the result obviously wasn't what we wanted. We had the ball constantly in their half, recording 66 percent of the possession. It was honestly just the one mistake that cost us the result. They had two shots on goal and unfortunately, one went in. Defensively, holding a Division I team to just three shots is a great performance but offensively we were just missing that final touch to turn that possession into goals." - head coach
Tobias Bischof.
UP NEXT
The Seawolves return home a week from tonight, Sept. 22, taking on William & Mary to open conference play. The match is scheduled for a 6 p.m., kickoff at LaValle Stadium. They are also home on Sunday afternoon, hosting Hampton at Noon.
