In a season that easily could have been considered a turnaround year for a team with a new head coach following a first round exit in the playoffs, the Stony Brook women’s soccer team capped off an unforgettable season as the 2019 America East champions following a 2-1 victory over the Hartford Hawks.
The No. 5-seeded Stony Brook women’s soccer team took on the No. 4-seeded Hawks in the first round of the America East Conference championships, putting on a 90-minute display of dominance en route to shutting out the Hawks 2-0 Thursday evening.
Francese fielded the ball in the attacking third, dribbling past her defender and another Hartford player and firing a shot from the corner of the penalty box that found the back of the net.
