| As always, hoping this is the year this program finally makes | |
| the final four. As for the schedule, it appears we have | |
| problems with getting other top-ten programs who�ll agree to | |
| play us. After Denver/Syracuse (which are scheduled on a Monday | |
| and Tuesday, why?) the strength of schedule falls off | |
| dramatically on paper. This never helps come tourney time and | |
| seeding. I see this team as having to go undefeated in order to | |
| to even sniff a potential seed in the top 8. We shall see how it | |
| all unfolds. | |

| 2024 NCAA Lacrosse Preview: No. 10 Stony Brook (Women) | |
| https://www.usalaxmagazine.com/college/women/2024-ncaa-lacrosse-preview-no-10-s… | |
| [quote] | |
| NO. 10 STONY BROOK | |
| 2023 Record: 15-4 (7-0 CAA) | |
| Final Ranking (2023): No. 10 | |
| Head Coach: Joe Spallina | |
| Assistants: Greg Miceli, Sydney Pirreca | |
| It�s strange to call a second-round exit an early one for Stony | |
| Brook, but after bowing out in the opening weekend of the NCAA | |
| tournament from 2013-16, the Seawolves had made four of the last | |
| five quarterfinals. | |
| The 2024 Seawolves roster includes six returning graduate | |
| students: Jolie Creo, Kailyn Hart, Morgan Mitchell, Erin | |
| MacQuarrie, McKenzie Mitchell and Charlotte Verhulst. | |
| �They don�t want to leave, and I don�t want them to leave,� | |
| Spallina said. �They feel they're playing for something more | |
| than a school. They�re playing for the Long Island lacrosse | |
| community. It�s a player-driven model. We empower the heck out | |
| of our players. It�s hard to say goodbye.� | |
| TOP RETURNERS | |
| Ellie Masera, M, Sr. (71G, 24A, 90DC) | |
| Kailyn Hart, A, Gr. (55G, 23A SV) | |
| Clare Levy, Sr., D (58DC, 16CT, 27GB) | |
| Spallina expects Masera, the lefty Hart and senior midfielder | |
| Jaden Hampel (31G, 20A) to comprise a three-headed monster. | |
| KEY ADDITIONS | |
| Emily Manning, G, Gr. (123 saves at Binghamton) | |
| Haydin Eisfeld, A, Fr. (Helped Bayport-Blue Point to a N.Y. | |
| Class C state championship) | |
| Olivia Schorr, M, Fr. (Under Armour All-American at Canandaigua | |
| Academy) | |
| NOTABLE DEPARTURES | |
| Graduations: Haley Dillon, D; Ella Whitehouse, D; Hailey | |
| Duchnowski, G | |
| X-FACTOR | |
| Alex Finn, A, Gr. (42G, 40A at UMass) | |
| Finn is also a key addition, but we�re spreading the wealth here | |
| � which Finn also does on offense. She finished second to Fiona | |
| McGowan in assists last season at UMass and brings experience | |
| playing for a team that competes annually for conference titles | |
| and NCAA berths. What�s more, she gives the Seawolves something | |
| they�ve been lacking since Taryn Ohlmiller turned her tassel in | |
| 2021: A feeder from behind the cage. | |
| Stony Brook will have a challenging stretch in March, playing | |
| other top 15 teams in Syracuse (March 5), Johns Hopkins (March | |
| 9) and Denver (March 11). A 3-0 run and cleaning up in | |
| conference play won�t hurt come Selection Sunday. | |
| Heading into the 2024 season, Stony Brook is returning 98% of | |
| its offensive production from a unit that finished 9th in the | |
| country for adjusted offensive efficiency. | |

| The Seawolves had a disappointing finish in 2023, as a team | |
| that�s frequented the Elite Eight in past seasons, seeing their | |
| year come to an end in the second round. They�ll return multiple | |
| key players on their offense in 2024 who have proven the ability | |
| to score in a frequent fashion. | |
| Kailyn Hart (55G, 23A): Hart returns for her fifth season with | |
| the Seawolves after an illustrious career at Stony Brook. She�s | |
| served as an anchor at X for her entire career, starting 60 of | |
| her 62 games thus far. | |
| Ellie Masera (71G, 24A): A speedster who relentlessly attacks | |
| the cage, Masera never seems to run out of energy when the ball | |
| is in her stick. Just as soon as the defense sits back, Masera | |
| takes advantage, and it often pays off. While Masera will take | |
| the occasional rep on defense, her impact on the offensive end | |
| is unmatched. | |
| Morgan Mitchell (43G, 20A): Coming off a career-high 63 points | |
| last season, Mitchell provides the Seawolves with another option | |
| on the offense as a newly established scoring threat. She�s got | |
| the ability to capitalize in big games, too, notching a hat | |
| trick or more on six occasions last season. [/quote] | |

| No. 10/11 Stony Brook women�s lacrosse going for gold with | |
| expiring window | |

| [quote] | |
| As always, expectations remain high for the Seawolves, who were | |
| picked to win the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) in the | |
| coaches� preseason poll. The 2024 season will be the final one | |
| for eight of their starters from the 2023 campaign, which | |
| includes their top seven scorers. Before entering a new era, | |
| Stony Brook will aim for history with its veteran group. | |
| �When your standard is winning the national championship, there | |
| is always going to be pressure,� Spallina said in an interview | |
| with The Statesman. �We all feel the urgency to win, but I don�t | |
| think it�s very different than the last five or six years.� | |
| In the 2023 regular season, Stony Brook went 3-2 against ranked | |
| opponents. It stacked its schedule again in 2024, as it is set | |
| to show down with No. 5 Syracuse and No. 4 Denver. The Seawolves | |
| will host Denver at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium, from where they | |
| currently own a 34-game winning streak. | |
| The team�s attack is as stacked and healthy as ever. From a | |
| statistical standpoint, the Seawolves lost just nine goals and | |
| one assist in the offseason to either graduation or the transfer | |
| portal. Their returning players combined to score 97.6% of the | |
| team�s points (goals plus assists) last year. | |
| �We�re all returning and a majority of us have been with each | |
| other from the start,� Hampel said. �I think the bond that we | |
| have with each other is our biggest strength. We realize from | |
| losing those big games that we have to be willing to die for the | |
| person next to us or do that one extra thing. I think all of us | |
| have that agreement and our bond is unbreakable.� | |
| �We�re returning the same offense, so if we keep doing what we | |
| did last year, my role could fall into place with that,� Creo | |
| said. �The only reason I was able to [lead the team in assists] | |
| was because I had such good teammates around me. Getting in the | |
| right position, putting themselves up so that I could feed them | |
| and get those passes off.� | |
| Another All-CAA Second Team selection that had a career year in | |
| 2023 was midfielder Charlotte Verhulst. Outside of her 25 goals | |
| and nine assists, Verhulst also handled the majority of the | |
| team�s duties in the draw circles. She finished third on the | |
| team with 55 draw controls and helped the Seawolves achieve the | |
| ninth-best draw control percentage (.584) in the nation last | |
| season. | |
| Another impact player on both sides of the ball in 2023 was | |
| midfielder Erin MacQuarrie. She tallied 10 goals and eight | |
| assists to go along with 24 ground balls and 11 caused | |
| turnovers. | |
| Masera, Hart, Mitchell, Hampel, Creo, Verhulst and MacQuarrie | |
| are all entering their final collegiate season. Although the | |
| seven have proven to make up a championship-caliber offense, | |
| they will get help from another player in her last year: | |
| attacker Alex Finn. | |
| �Everyone on this team is super competitive,� Finn said. �That�s | |
| kind of what drew me here. Everyone wants to prove other teams | |
| wrong, so I really like that gritty aspect.� | |
| Another fresh face that could find a spot on the Seawolves� | |
| rotation is freshman attacker Haydin Eisfeld, who Spallina is | |
| very high on. | |
| Another freshman who could see time on the field is two-way | |
| midfielder Isabella Caporuscio. Additionally, Allie Masera � | |
| Ellie�s younger sister � will see an increase in playing time in | |
| her sophomore season with Stony Brook. Also on the midfield is | |
| Alexandra Fusco, who led the bench unit last year with seven | |
| goals scored. | |
| Spallina called Hines the �best defender that no one knows� and | |
| believes she is going to have an All-American-caliber year. In | |
| her first two seasons with the Seawolves, Hines played in just | |
| 13 games and started just one. | |
| Manning is still in competition with freshman goalkeeper Natalia | |
| Altebrando for the top spot. Aaliyah Jones � a senior who led | |
| the team with a .485 save percentage last year � is out with an | |
| undisclosed injury. | |
