The Hawks scored the game-winning goal in the 56th minute and held on as the Terriers mounted offensive pressure through the final 34 minutes.

The Terriers' offense has come alive in conference action, outscoring their opponents 10-2, with junior Marisha Schumacher-Hodge (Pittsburgh, Pa.) leading the charge with two goals and five assists for nine points. Senior Christina Reuter has gotten the nod in nine games and recorded a 0.77 goals-against average. In addition, Reuter is ranked 32nd in the nation in save percentage (.854).

Stony Brook is unbeaten in league action with wins over Vermont, UNH and Albany. Most recently, the Seawoles tied Binghamton, 1-1, on Oct. 18. Trine Allenberg leads the offense with two goals and four assists, followed closely by Danielle Tenaglia with three goals and one assist. Marisa Viola has played in all 1373:16 minutes between the pipes, earning a 0.46 GAA and a .921 save percentage.

Following Sunday's game the Terriers will travel north to Durham, N.H. to face UNH on Thursday, Oct. 25 at 2:30 p.m.
