Women's Soccer Rally Falls Short in Defeat to Providence - Stony Brook University Athletics - Stony Brook Athletics

STONY BROOK, N.Y. — The Stony Brook women's soccer team was able to cut a 3-0 deficit down to 3-2 but were not able to find a tying goal in the final half hour as Providence defeated the Seawolves 4-2 on Sunday afternoon at LaValle Stadium.

Catharina von Drigalski and Morayo Adenegan scored nine minutes apart to cut two-thirds of the way through their second-half deficit, as von Drigalski made a looping, through-ball from Linn Beck pay off into the far corner.

Adenegan tallied her first Seawolves goal nine minutes later, punching home a rebound off the foot of Reilly Rich as a corner kick created some pressure in the box that the centerback made count.

The two keepers were under pressure all day, as Nicolette Pasquarella made six saves in the first 45 minutes and Ava King recorded seven stops in the second half of play.

STATS AND NOTES

von Drigalski scored goal number two on her collegiate career. Her first came in overtime against Saint Joseph's last season.
Adenegan's goal is the first of her college career in the 61st appearance for the centerback.
Beck has now recorded a point in four of her first six college outings with an assist today. She is second on the team with six points to her name.
King recorded a career-high seven saves in the second 45 minutes, stopping seven of the nine shots on goal she saw.

QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"The goal was to take away the offense from a talented Providence team and I thought we did that well outside of a couple individual mistakes that they capitalized on. We're still a young team so we are going to get better game-by-game and play a very offensive game when we have the chance. I saw some good things form us today, which we can build on, but obviously when you look at the scoreboard, the result isn't what we wanted." - head coach Tobias Bischof.

UP NEXT
Stony Brook begins a mini, two-game road trip on Thursday night, taking on Columbia at 7 p.m., in New York City. They then head to Penn for a 4 p.m., kickoff on Sunday in Philadelphia.
