Much like it has in its first three games, Stony Brook struggled to maintain a rhythm and aggressiveness on the offensive end. While Marist dominated for much of the game, the score remained tied until the 59th minute, when senior forward Merrilynn Esteve finally managed to break the deadlock. Stony Brook freshman goalkeeper Chelsea Morales kept the Seawolves in the game with her excellent play, making seven saves in the loss.
