Box Score BALTIMORE – UMBC controlled most of the first 60 minutes of play and took an early second half 1-0 lead, but Stony Brook rallied to defeat the Retrievers, 3-1, before a boisterous Homecoming crowd of 1,556 at Retriever Soccer Park.
The Retrievers fell to 6-6-1 and 1-3-0 in America East play.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- After a crisply played but scoreless first half, UMBC sophomore midfielder Jago Lott (Somerset, U.K.) scored his second goal of the season on a direct kick from the left wing in the 48' to put the Retrievers in front.
- Stony Brook earned back-to-back corners in the 61', and cashed in on a goal on a near post run and score by Kori Cupid.
- In the 71', UMBC sophomore goalkeeper Jailon Gillespie (Laurel, Del.) made a great save on SBU header, but the rebound bounced out to Aki Solvason, who scored the first of his two goals to give the Seawolves their first lead.
- Solvason scored an insurance marker in the 81'.
NOTABLE
- UMBC outshot SBU, 19-16, and put nine on goal, but netminder Edmond Kaiser turned eight away. Gillespie made six saves for UMBC.
