No. 1 Stony Brook women’s lacrosse earned its 10th straight victory to begin the 2018 season on Tuesday night at LaValle Stadium, topping No. 23 Cornell by the final score of 19-4.
With the win, the No. 1 Seawolves (10-0, 3-0 AE) have now recorded six wins vs. nationally-ranked opponents so far this season.
“This was a game we had circled, a team we had played in the fall and we knew they were a quality opponent,” head coach Joe Spallina said.
“I thought Cornell was gritty and hard-nosed tonight,” Spallina added. “I knew they had our team’s full attention, and I felt that we were prepared and locked in for this one. I’m really proud of the way our group played again today, it was another great win.”
