WLAX: STONY BROOK EDGES LE MOYNE 10-9

STONY BROOK, NY – Stony Brook’s Kim Hallion and Kaitlin Leggio each scored three goals in leading the Seawolves over Le Moyne 10-9 on Saturday. The Dolphins were led by Rebekah Elmer (Syracuse, NY / West Genesee) and Michelle Phillips (Johnson City, N.Y. / Maine Endwell) with three point each. Le Moyne falls to 0-2 on the season while Stony Brook picks up their first victory of the season to improve to 1-3.

Le Moyne registered the day’s first goal as Elmer connected with Katlin Walker (Penn Yan, NY / Penn Yan) to give the Dolphins a 1-0 lead 20 seconds into the game. After trading goals most of the first half, Phillips scored an unassisted goal with less than 30 seconds remaining in the first half to pull the Dolphins within one 6-5 heading into the intermission.

The Seawolves opened the second period scoring three of the game’s next four goals to take a 9-6 lead with 14:03 remaining in the game. The Dolphins rallied as Elmer scored two straight goals cutting the Stony Brook lead to 9-8 with less than 10 minutes remaining. Leggio scored the eventual game winner on a free position shot to push the Seawolves lead to 10-8. A late goal by Nerissa Barzee (Baldwinsville, NY / Baldwinsville) trimmed the lead to 10-9 before the final horn.

In goal, freshman Kelly Fucillo (Camillus, NY / West Genesee) scored seven saves on the day.
