Stony Brook, N.Y. - The Stony Brook #Seawolves wrapped up their non-conference schedule in thrilling fashion on Sunday afternoon, defeating the Fordham Rams 3-2 in overtime at LaValle Stadium. Redshirt sophomore Raven Edwards (West Orange, N.J) provided the theatrics with the game-winning goal. Freshman Maddie Good (Palmyra, Pa.) had a goal and an assist and junior Tessa Devereaux had two helpers.

Ryan's Reaction

"We started a little slower than we would have wanted but credit the team for getting back into it in the second half and winning it in overtime," said Ryan.
"We have a very coachable group, that works really hard and puts a lot into it. I am happy that, at least for today, they were rewarded for it."

Goal Recaps
