Stony Brook, N.Y. - Senior Alyssa Struzenberg (Cooper City, Fla.) set her second record in as many days, when she threw a shutout against Fairfield on Sunday afternoon. Struzenberg's no-hit gem was her 19th career shutout, breaking the record which was set in 2002 by Stephanie Poetzsch. Struzenberg broke the record for career wins yesterday in the Seawolves victory over Holy Cross. Stony Brook's 5-0 win gave it a record of 9-7 on the season and a perfect 4-0 mark during the Stony Brook Invitational this weekend.

Senior Vicki Kavitsky (Cherry Hill, N.J.) got the Seawolves off to a strong start, lining the fifth pitch of the game to left center for a double. She would score later in the inning on a pair of wild pitches to put SBU on top 1-0.

That was enough run support for Struzenberg, who faced just one more batter than the minimum in her seven innings of work. Fairfield managed to reach base just three times on walks, but twice those runners were retired. Struzenberg picked up seven strikeouts, including the final batter of the game.

Kavitsky went 4-for-4 with two runs scored and a pair of doubles. Senior Crista Cerrone (Floral Park, N.Y.) hit Stony Brook's first home run of the weekend, a two-run two-out blast to center in the fourth inning. Junior Brijette Martin (New York, N.Y.) and sophomore Bernadette Tenuto (Audubon, N.J.) also had RBI for the Seawolves.
