NEW HAMPSHIRE (10-7-0) vs. STONY BROOK (12-5-1)
Thursday, November 7 – 6 P.M. – Lavalle Stadium – Stony Brook, N.Y. – AmericaEast.TV
DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire women's soccer team, seeded #4 in the America East Tournament, travel to Stony Brook, New York, to face the top-seeded Seawolves on Thursday evening.
The Wildcats are riding the momentum of a big 3-2 win over #5 Binghamton at home in Wildcat Stadium, advancing the 'Cats to the semifinal round of the America East tournament for the third time in four years.
Last Time Out
• New Hampshire hosted its third home playoff game in the last four years when the Wildcats hosted the Binghamton Bearcats in the quarterfinal round. New Hampshire struck first in the 28th minute on a beautiful tic-tac-toe play from Liz Lane (Porter, Maine) into the middle of the box to Ally Reynolds (Weymouth, Mass.) who dropped it back to Kaylan Williams (Marion, Ind.) who hit a one-timer to the bottom left of the net.
• Binghamton would equalize in the 36th minute, and Reynolds would answer with a goal of her own in the 57th minute; a pass from Williams through the Binghamton back line left Reynolds alone one-on-one with the keeper which she won, putting the ball in to the lower left corner of the net.
• The eventual game-winning goal came from sophomore Julie Cane (Titusville, N.J.), her first career goal, on another breakway play from the Wildcats. Belle Pesante (Wakefield, R.I.) got a similar through-ball and had a one-on-one with the keeper but her shot bounced off the legs of the opposing goalie. A long rebound found a charging Cane just outside the 18 and the defense couldn't reposition for the second attempt, as it sailed through the gap in the defense for a 3-1 lead.
• Binghamton tallied a goal in the 85th to try and climb back but New Hampshire was able to keep Binghamton out of the UNH defensive zone for the final four minutes.
• The game was UNH's first win this season when allowing two goals by the opposition.
Players to Watch
• Senior Ally Reynolds, an All-Conference First Team member, leads the team in points with 22 on the year, with a team-high in goals (nine) and three assists. She has a team-high four game-winning goals.
• Senior Kaylan Williams has a team-high six assists with five goals for a total of 16 points on the year, highlighted by a a six-point game against UMass Lowell and a three-point game in the Quarterfinals vs. Binghamton.
• All-Rookie Team member Whitney Wiley has tapped in five goals, two game-winners this season, and is tied with Williams for a second-best 13 points.
• Sophomore goalkeeper Cat Sheppard (Nesconset, N.Y.) in her first starting season is 9-7-0 on the year with a .816 save% and 0.960 GAA.
About Stony Brook
• The Seawolves (Stony Brook, N.Y.) come into the tournament as the #1 overall seed after a conference record of 6-1-1.
• New Hampshire fell to Stony Brook earlier in the season on a rainy Sunday afternoon, in a game that featured a 2+ hour rain delay.
• Stony Brook is 4-1-1 when facing New Hampshire in the America East playoffs.
• The last playoff meeting between the two teams was #5 Stony Brook at #1 UNH in the 2017 America East Semifinals; Stony Brook took a 1-0 victory from Bremner Field.
