WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – It was a well-rounded effort as the Stony Brook men's lacrosse team never trailed in the game and returned to the win column Sunday afternoon, topping Hartford 13-9 at Al-Marzook Field at Alumni Stadium. Nine different players recorded a point in the game as the Seawolves improved to 5-3 on the year, 1-1 in the America East. Hartford dropped to 3-5 this season, 0-1 in league play. Nagle's Reaction "I'm really happy for the guys to get this result today," said head coach Jim Nagle. "We got back to playing Stony Brook lacrosse today and it was a lot of fun." Highlights Freshman Tom Haun (Sachem, N.Y.) got things going early for the Seawolves, scoring the first goal of the game two minutes after the opening face-off. Senior Ryan Bitzer (Riverhead, N.Y.) helped build the momentum, putting away back-to-back goals in the first quarter, tacking on a third just before the final horn. Stony Brook continued to push in the second quarter, going up 6-1 early in the new period. Hartford took advantage of a man-up opportunity with just over a minute remaining before halftime, but the Seawolves were able to take a 7-3 lead into the break. Bitzer wasted no time, striking first in the third quarter. Freshman Cory VanGinhoven (Fort Mill, N.C.) and senior Alex Corpolongo (Purdys, N.Y.) each added goals as Stony Brook went up 10-4 just inside the midway point in the quarter. Hartford scored sequential goals for the first time in the game to finish the third, and after Haun broke up the momentum, the Hawks added two more to get back within three to start the fourth. Both teams stepped up defensively in the final quarter, but senior Jay Lindsay (Burlington, Ontario) sealed the victory as he won a late face-off and took it straight to goal to extend the lead. Notes Corpolongo extended his scoring streak to 26 games with two goals in the win. He currently boasts the second-longest streak in the nation. Haun notched his sixth multi-point game of the season and has scored at least two goals in each of the last three games. Bitzer made it back-to-back games with at least five points. He has had a point in 27 of the last 28 games of his career. Freshman Michael Bollinger (Sachem, N.Y.) made his first start of the season and played the complete game in cage. He earned his first decision and finished with 10 saves. The Seawolves, who have struggled on the face-off as of late, improved as they won 12-of-25 while going against one of the top face-off men in the country. Sophomore Ryland Rees (P. Coquitlam, British Columbia) returned for the Seawolves after missing the last four games due to injury.
