WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. – Summer Reimet scored her third goal of the playoffs but a second half comeback came up just short as the No. 1 Monmouth University women's soccer team fell to No. 2 Stony Brook 2-1 in the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) Championship Match Saturday night.

Stony Brook was able to break through at 31:41 as Luciana Setteducate headed one into the bottom left corner of the net for a 1-0 lead. 
 
The Hawks kept firing off shots but four saves from Nicolette Pasquarella sent Stony Brook into the half leading 1-0. 
 
The Hawks and Seawolves battled to start the second half.
 
Stony Brook was able to add to its lead at 54:03 as Linn Beck scored off a pass from Setteducate.
 
Monmouth didn't back down despite trailing 2-0 as the Hawks fired off five shots in the next 10 minutes of the contest. 
 
The Hawks got on the board at 78:35 as Grace Notarfrancesco played one forward into the box and to the feet of Reimet. The junior moved around her defender and fired a shot across the net into the right corner and made it a 2-1 match.
 
Monmouth got off three more shots in the contest but could not come up with the equalizer as Stony Brook claimed the championship with a 2-1 win. 

NOTES AND QUOTES

The game of soccer is cruel sometimes and they deserved better tonight. We could not be any prouder of these 26 young ladies who represent us and Monmouth University."
