BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Stony Brook women's soccer fought back from a second-half deficit to knock off Campbell, 2-1, on Sunday afternoon at Eakes Athletics Complex. Luciana Setteducate found the equalizer in the 50th minute and Linn Beck provided the game-winning goal seven minutes later.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Campbell grabbed a 1-0 lead when Kaleigh Backlund scored in the 27th minute, opening the scoring on Sunday afternoon.
The Seawolves leveled the game on a goal by Luciana Setteducate -- her fourth goal of the season -- in the 49th minute, assisted by Sammy Hannwacker. The two connected for the goal off a corner setpiece.
Stony Brook then busted up the 1-1 draw on Linn Beck's 56th-minute goal, her fourth of the season. Gabrielle Cote assisted the goal. Beck's goal proved to be the difference, coming a little less than seven minutes after Setteducate's game-tying goal.
Kerry Pearson nearly added another goal for Stony Brook, but Campbell was credited with a team save to keep the ball from the back of the net.
Campbell tried just two shots after Stony Brook went ahead in the match, with Nicolette Pasquarella saving the only attempt on target down the stretch. The Seawolves held off the Camels to close out the come-from-behind victory to end the road trip.

QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"I thought we played well today and it's never easy to win an away game," head coach Tobias Bischof said. "Unfortunately, we got scored on against the run of play in the first half. In the second half, the team reacted and did very well to score twice and come from behind to win."
