SEAWOLVES DROP BULLDOGS, 2-1, TUESDAY NIGHT
STONY BROOK, NY - Sophomore Sarah Donovan (Storrs, Conn.) scored a game-tying goal in the 50th minute of play, but it was not enough as the Bryant University women's soccer team fell to Stony Brook, 2-1, on Tuesday night in New York. Donovan's goal was her second of the season, while also giving her a team-leading six points. The Bulldogs recorded 14 shots, nine of them on net, forcing junior keeper Marisa Viola (Cutchogue, N.Y.) to make eight saves on her way to the win.
The Seawolves, ranked 13th in the Northeast according SoccerBuzz magazine, got the scoring started in the 21st minute when sophomore midfielder Sarah Dwyer (Laurel, Md.) found last week's America East Player of the week, Trine Allenberg, for her third goal of the season to put the Seawolves on top, 1-0. The Bulldogs came out firing after the halftime break, as Holly Tyser (Somers, Conn.) and Brooke Duchaney (Hampton Falls, N.H.) both put shots on net before Donovan found the back of the cage for the tying goal.
Stony Brook would answer just five minutes later as junior forward Kate Collins (Essex Fells, N.J.) beat keeper Katie Mitchell (Deer Park, N.Y.) for her first goal of the season and what would prove to be the game winner. Freshman Kaitlyn Hinck (Bow, N.H.) would put another shot on net in the 79th minute, but it was turned back by Viola as the Seawolves edged the Bulldogs as the final whistle blew.
Bryant will be back in action Sunday when they travel to take on the Huskies of Northeastern University (1 p.m.).
