Seawolves Extend Win Streak to Three
Seawolves Extend Win Streak to Three
Stony Brook, N.Y. - In last season's men's lacrosse game between Stony Brook and Delaware, sophomore Jordan McBride (New Westminster, B.C.) scored a school-record 10 goals to lead the Seawolves to a 19-16 win. McBride was a deciding factor again in this afternoon's rematch between the two teams in LaValle Stadium, scoring with 2:57 left in the second overtime, his third of the day, to lift Stony Brook to a 10-9 win, its third straight. Sophomore Timmy Trenkle (Commack, N.Y.) also scored three times for the Seawolves.
"That was a heck of a game," remarked Stony Brook head coach Rick Sowell. "I am really proud of my guys for the way that they battled today. Our defense got us some big stops late in the game, particularly in overtime. Delaware threw a bit of a curve at us the way they defended us, but we overcame that with a couple of man-up goals. Overall it was a great effort for us."
Both teams had opportunities in the first overtime to finish off a game in which neither side held more than a two-goal advantage. After sophomore Adam Rand (Niantic, Conn.) won the opening face-off, Stony Brook (3-2) got off three shots in the first two minutes of OT number one. Delaware (2-5) goalie Noah Fossner was equal to the task, turning away two shots before the Blue Hens gained control of the ball. Delaware got off five shots in a minute span, but none were on goal and the game went to a second OT.
Rand again controlled the crucial face-off and this time it paid off. The Seawolves worked the ball for over a minute before junior Tom Compitello (Hauppauge, N.Y.) was able to send a pass to the front of the Delaware goal to McBride who put it away with 2:03 showing on the clock.
It was Stony Brook that drew first blood in the contest, getting goals from freshman Robbie Campbell (Delta, B.C.) and McBride midway through the first quarter for the early 2-0 lead. Delaware got on the board at the 3:51 mark of the first on a shot by Martin Cahill. That started the Blue Hens on a 4-0 run that went into the second quarter as they got a pair of goals from Curtis Dickson and one by Kevin Kaminski that put UD up 4-2 with 9:14 left in the second.
Trenkle notched his first goal of the game to end a Stony Brook scoring drought that lasted over 15 minutes and cut the Delaware lead down to one. The combination of McBride and Compitello that worked at the end of the game worked to tie the score at 4-4 with 2:01 left in the second when the Seawolves took advantage of a man-up opportunity. Junior Mike Palmer (Westbury, N.Y.) threaded a pass through the Delaware defense in the final seconds of the quarter, one that sophomore Kevin Crowley (New Westminster, B.C.) put home to give SBU a 5-4 lead at the break.
Delaware responded in the first five minutes of the third with two goals, retaking the lead on Cahill's second score of the game at the 10:26 mark. The Blue Hens were looking to add to their lead when junior Steven Waldeck (Levittown, N.Y.) forced a turnover and scooped up the ground ball. Taking advantage of the transition opportunity, he took it the length of the field and fired a shot past Fossner to knot the game at six-all.
Penalties gave Delaware a pair of man-up tries over the next few minutes but Stony Brook, which held the Blue Hens without a score in five extra-man tries, stopped both. Junior Charlie Paar (Huntington, N.Y.) stopped one shot during the second UD man-up opportunity and started a Stony Brook clear that was successful. Freshman Kyle Belton (Langley, B.C.) wound up with the ball on the offensive end and pushed a shot towards the Delaware goal that Fossner never saw coming. The ball rolled past him for a man-down goal for the Seawolves, putting them back on top, 7-6, with 3:54 left in the third.
After Delaware had tied things up again late in the third on another Dickson goal, Stony Brook struck twice in a minute span in the fourth, with Trenkle scoring both, to take a 9-7 advantage with 8:46 left. Dickson scored again, however, for the Blue Hens with 4:11 left and Mark Steverson tied things up a little more than a minute later, tying the game for the sixth time, setting up the overtime finish.
McBride and Trenkle's three goals led the Seawolves, with Trenkle's output a career-high. Compitello had three assists for Stony Brook, also a career best. Paar finished with 17 saves in goal for SBU. Dickson led all players with his four goals for Delaware.
Stony Brook will begin a two-game road swing over the next week when it visits Lafayette on Tuesday, March 17 at 3:00 p.m.
