Stony Brook, N.Y. - Junior Kate Collins (Essex Fells, N.J.) scored the game-winning goal in the 56th minute to lead the Stony Brook University women's soccer team to a 2-1 victory over the Bryant Bulldogs on Tuesday night at LaValle Stadium. Stony Brook improves to 4-3-0 with the victory while Bryant falls to 1-5-1.
Collins came streaking down the left sideline just over 10 minutes into the second half and launched a shot from the left side of the 18-yard box that curled just over the outstretched hands of Bryant goalkeeper Katie Mitchell and into the back of the net. Bryant had tied the game at 1-all in the 51st minute on a 20-yard strike from Sarah Donovan.
The Seawolves took a 1-0 lead midway through the first half as senior Trine Allenberg (Roberts, Wisc.) took a pass from sophomore Sarah Dwyer (Laurel, Md.) at the top of the 18-yard box and poked it past an oncoming Mitchell for her team-leading third goal of the season.
Senior Brooke Barbuto (Syracuse, N.Y.) nearly gave SBU a lead in the 5th minute but her shot clanged off the outside of the right post. The Seawolves headed into halftime with the lead despite being outshot 8-5 by the Bulldogs.
Junior goalkeeper Marisa Viola (Cutchogue, N.Y.) earned the victory for the Seawolves, making eight saves. Mitchell finished the game with five stops for the Bulldogs. Each team recorded 14 shots with the Seawolves owning a 6-1 advantage in corner kicks.
