Crowley leads Seawolves with six goals
Stony Brook, N.Y. - Junior Kevin Crowley (New Westminster, British Columbia) recorded four goals and junior Jordan McBride (New Westminster, British Columbia) added two, but Cornell's Ryan Hurley tallied a game-high five goals and Rob Pannell posted a goal and six assists to lead the #7/9 (IL/USILA) Big Red to a 12-9 win over the Seawolves in non-conference action at LaValle Stadium on Tuesday night. Junior Adam Rand (Niantic, Conn.) won 17-of-25 faceoffs and senior Steven Waldeck (Levittown, N.Y.) had 10 ground balls for Stony Brook (4-3), which faced Cornell (6-1) for the first time since 2004.
"I'm disappointed in the outcome tonight, but I think good times are ahead," head coach Rick Sowell said. "Give Cornell credit, they made the best of some opportunities. "I like where this team is headed; our goals are the same as we head towards our final non-conference game and into America East play."
Cornell jumped out to a 3-0 lead five minutes into the game. But Stony Brook answered, scoring four straight goals, ending the first quarter with a 4-3 lead.
Hurley's 20th of the season tied the game with 12:38 left in the first half. Another goal wouldn't be scored until 11 minutes later as Crowley scored unassisted at 1:23. Roy Lang's goal with five seconds left tied the game at five going into the locker rooms.
Lang's goal was the first of six straight goals for the Big Red, who held Stony Brook scoreless for over 20 minutes, spanning three quarters. Sophomore Timmy Trenkle (Commack, N.Y.) ended the Seawolves' drought, scoring off an assist from sophomore Robbie Campbell (Delta, British Columbia). Senior Charlie Paar (Huntington, N.Y.) made four of his 10 saves in the third quarter.
Crowley, who scored three of his four goals unassisted, scored 43 seconds later, cutting Cornell's lead to 10-7.
The Big Red led 12-7 after goals from Chris Langton and Hurley. McBride's team-leading 28th goal of the season made it 12-8 and Crowley's tally made it a three-goal game with 2:55 left in regulation.
The final non-conference game is on Saturday against Bryant University in Rhode Island. Face-off is scheduled for 1 pm.
