Senior Kelly Grant (Fairfax, VA.) provided the lone bright spot for the Seawolves as the women’s soccer team fell at the hands of the hosting Fairfield Stags, 3-1.

Grant took a Dominque Adamo (Ramsey, NJ.) corner kick and dug it out of the scrum, finishing in the 83rd minute to bring the scoreline to 3-1.

Fairfield opened the scoring in the 28th minute, in a goal that looked heartbreakingly familiar to Seawolves fans, as the Fairfield striker nicked a pass intended for goalkeeper Marisa Viola (Cutchogue, NY.) and slid it past the helpless number 1.

The exhausted Stony Brook team was coming off of a devastating 1-0 overtime loss to Sacred Heart Friday night, in a match that represented the team’s fifth overtime contest in just nine games this year. The deciding goal came on a similar play when a back pass to Viola was underhit, allowing the Sacred Heart striker a breakaway. The Seawolves are 1-3-1 in overtime.

That goal provided the difference at the halftime break, but the Seawolves never recovered, conceding in the 57th and 71st minutes.

The Seawolves now take their 1-7-1 record into conference play beginning at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 27, when they take on New Hampshire.
