Women's Soccer Falls to Top-Seeded Towson in Overtime of CAA Semifinal

TOWSON, Md. — Stony Brook women's soccer fell to top-seeded Towson in overtime of the 2026 CAA Women's Soccer North Division semifinal, 3-2, on Sunday afternoon in Maryland. After falling behind 2-0 in the first half, Stony Brook scored twice in a two-minute span to level the match. The semifinal match needed overtime to decide a winner, and it was Towson that emerged victorious on a goal with exactly one minute to play.

Things started fast in favor of Towson, who scored the opening goal of the match just 1:53 into play on Sunday. Jona Hennings made her second stop of the contest at the 6:56 mark to keep the score where it stood. Eva Sprewell had Stony Brook's first shot on target, forcing Towson's keeper to make her first stop just before the 10-minute mark of the first half.

Things settled down after a frantic start, though Hennings was continuously put to the test on her line. She made three saves after conceding the early goal, but the Tigers relentlessness paid off in the 35th minute. Towson struck for a second time in the first half, taking a two-goal lead that it carried into the intermission.

In true Seawolf fashion, Stony Brook did not go down without a fight. The Seawolves got on the board in the 60th minute when Allison George netted a goal off a corner kick. Lisa Muller headed the initial cross towards the net that bounded around and eventually found the foot of George who guided it home to cut Stony Brook's deficit in half.

Riding a wave of momentum following its first goal, Stony Brook struck again just 1:46 later to level the contest in the 62nd minute. Another corner for Stony Brook was cleared initially but Sprewell came on and lofted a left-footed shot into the top corner of the net, just out of the reach of the extended hand of the Towson goalkeeper to make it 2-2.

The frenetic, back-and-forth pace continued throughout the remainder of regulation, with each side generating a multitude of chances to go home a winner. The final three minutes of play saw each side with a golden opportunity, each of which sailed wide of the cage. Towson's try headed towards the far post before taking a right turn and leading to a Stony Brook goal kick. Down the other end of the pitch, it was a streaking Maya Corbett that had her shot blocked out for a corner in the final minute, eventually forcing overtime.

In the first overtime period, it was Towson that found the game-winning goal. Hennings came off her line to clear a ball in the box that was then sent off of the crossbar before finding the foot of the CAA's Co-Attacking Player of the Year, Sophie Thibeault, who put home a left-footed shot with exactly one minute remaining in the first extra period.

Stony Brook concludes the 2026 season at 8-5-5 overall. The Seawolves earned a spot in the CAA postseason for the fifth consecutive season and advanced to the semifinal round for the third straight season.
