GAME RECAP

UNH and Stony Brook, along with Albany, entered the game tied atop the America East conference standings at 3-0.
UNH's senior captains combined for the second time in the game when Laura McHoul (Westwood, Mass.) set up Nicole Grote (Ellicott City, Md.) at 23:17 of the second half to lift the Wildcats within 5-3.
Stony Brook slowly pulled away with six consecutive goals spanning 12 minutes to build an 11-3 lead with 6:34 remaining.
New Hampshire was still within striking distance, 7-3, when it called time out at 12:43. After an extended offensive possession, the Wildcats turned the ball over and the Seawolves swiftly converted that into Kylkie Ohmiller's goal at 9:26. SBU won the ensuing draw control and scored 30 seconds later to quickly extend the advantage to 9-3.
Courtney Murphy and Ohmiller potted goals 10 seconds apart – at 6:44 and 6:34, respectively – to put the game out of reach.

UNH NOTEBOOK

UNH limited Stony Brook's high-scoring offense, which entered the game ranked sixth in the country in scoring (14.33 goals per game), to four goals on nine shots in the first half.
Through 30 minutes, the stats were relatively even. SBU held the slight edge in goals (4-2), shots (9-7) and ground balls (7-5). UNH had a 4-3 advantage in draw controls and turnovers were even at 6.
The disparity wasn't that much larger in the second half, where the Seawolves generated an 11-7 shot advantage and committed fewer turnovers (3-6). UNH, however, recorded the edge in both ground balls (4-3) and draw controls (6-4).
The four goals and 14 shots both matched UNH's lowest outputs of the season.
UNH is now 0-2 against nationally-ranked teams this season.
