Senior Trine Allenberg scores the game-winner in the 20th minute.
Riverdale, N.Y. - Senior Trine Allenberg (Roberts, Wisc.) scored in the 20th minute and junior Marisa Viola (Cutchogue, N.Y.) made seven saves to lead the Stony Brook women's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over the Manhattan Jaspers on Thursday night at Gaelic Park. The Seawolves improve to 2-2-0 while the Jaspers fall to 1-1-0.
Allenberg scored the only goal of the game just 19:40 into the game, taking a pass from freshman Colleen McKenna (Manorville, N.Y.) on the right side of the 18-yard box and putting into the lower left corner of the net to give the Seawolves a 1-0 advantage. The goal was the second of the season for Allenberg who also scored the game-winner last week at Iona.
The Seawolves had several good scoring chances late in the first half but were unable to get another one past Manhattan keeper Caitlin Tripiano who made four stops in the opening period. Manhattan held a 7-6 shot advantage going into the break.
Manhattan pushed for the equalizer early in the second half, forcing Viola to make four saves over the first 10 minutes including a brilliant stop on a Manhattan breakaway. But the Seawolves dominated the ball for the rest of the game as Viola did not have to make a save over the final 35 minutes of the contest. The shutout was the second of the season for the Seawolves and the 18th of Viola's career.
SBU finished the game with a 15-14 advantage in shots and a 5-3 advantage in corner kicks. Tripiano made six saves in net for the Jaspers.
Stony Brook returns to action on Sunday, Sept. 7, hosting Fordham at 1 p.m.
