West Hartford, CN- After their overtime triumph last week over Siena, the #19 Seawolves were looking to build some momentum heading into the final two weeks of the season. Playing this Saturday on the road to a struggling Hartford team, what should have been a sure win turned out to be a 6-4 loss.
The Hartford Hawks win, led by Tom Harris’ natural hat trick, scored first off Jacob Eustice’s unassisted goal at 9:20 in the first. SB would respond when Bo Tropodi fed Drew Werney to tie the game at 1-1 with 1:42 left in the first quarter. The remainder of the half would see both teams play tough defense and prevent any scores until the second half.
Stony Brook’s 4 goals is their lowest output of the season and a sign that their offense needs a boost. In the last three games, the Seawolves have managed only 5, 10 and 4 goals, respectively; two of these games have been loses.
In the third quarter, Owen Adams would find the back of the net for the Seawolves for their only lead of the game. Hartford would then go on a 4-0 tear, including Tom Harris’ three straight goals to put the Hawks ahead 5-2.
Next Saturday, April 21st, the Seawolves host conference rival Binghamton in the LaValle Stadium. Face-off is at 7:00 PM.
