Box Score

Stony Brook, N.Y. - With three second-half goals, Stony Brook (2-0) turned a 1-0 lead into an insurmountable deficit as the Seawolves recorded their second straight shutout, 4-0, over St. Peter's (0-2) Wednesday afternoon at University Field.

Freshman Shane Arikian opened the scoring in the first half, blasting an 18-yard shot from the top of the box past Peacock goalkeeper Michael Sylvia. The Seawolves had numerous looks at the goal, recording 13 first-half shots against only one for St. Peter's.

The Seawolves finally began to capitalize in the second half, scoring two goals within eight minutes and adding another in the 78th minute. Junior Hector Dillon took a cross from junior Jamie Gaither and sent it past Sylvia at the 50:58 mark. Gaither then netted a goal of his own at 59:32, as junior Dave King sent the ball upfield to Arikian. Arikian found Gaither at the 15-yard mark while Sylvie was out of the box as Stony Brook went up 3-0. Junior Everett Watts added an insurance goal at 77:00 to close out the scoring.

St. Peter's had only two shots on the day, while Stony Brook recorded 28.

The 2-0 start is the best for Stony Brook since 1994, when the Seawolves won their first three games.

The Seawolves return to action on Wednesday, Sept. 13, when they travel to face Sacred Heart at 4 p.m.
