Binghamton women's soccer blanked by Stony Brook 1-0

Box Score

STONY BROOK, N.Y. - Stony Brook (6-4-1, 1-1 America East) scored 15 minutes into the contest and held on for a 1-0 victory over visiting Binghamton (3-6-2, 0-2 AE) in a women's soccer game Thursday night from Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium.

"I thought we played pretty well tonight," head coach Jeff Leightman said. "It was the first game in a while that we competed and created a lot of chances. The game could've gone either way. They made their chance and unfortunately for us, we weren't able to finish our chances. But our spirit was high and if we continue on this path we'll start getting the results we want. I was proud of our effort and work rate. We took a step in the right direction tonight."

Stony Brook netted a goal just 15:01 into the contest off the foot of Kate Collins. The Seawolves outshot Binghamton 17-11.

Senior goalkeeper Kristie Bowers (Rochester, N.Y.) made six saves for the Bearcats.

Binghamton begins a three-game homestand by hosting Albany at 1 p.m. on Sunday at West Gym Field.
