Another Stony Brook University team has set a record.
This past weekend, the Seawolves became the first No. 6 seed to win the America East women’s soccer tournament and just the third team to top the league’s No. 1 seed in the championship game. Winning the championship earned the Seawolves the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
Stony Brook defeated University of New Hampshire in the quarterfinals and the University of Maine in the semifinals with scores of 2-1. In the championship on Sunday, a 13th-minute goal by junior forward Larissa Nysch proved to be the difference against University of Hartford.
The Seawolves are set to visit the University of Maryland on Saturday for the first round of the NCAA tournament. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Ludwig Field.
