       always had the ability to retool on the fly. Lose one
       program-defining star, more or less replace that star with
       another up-and-coming one. But with the graduation of Tewaaraton
       Award finalist Ellie Masera, the Seawolves don’t appear to have
       their next big thing waiting in the wings.
       >
       > In fact, Stony Brook loses its top six scorers, a problem that
       obviously extends beyond the graduation of Masera. It also loses
       Clare Levy, a defensive stalwart, on the other side of the
       field. Oh, and both goalies who played a majority of the minutes
       are gone, too.
       >
       > That makes Stony Brook a little bit of an unknown, though
       Spallina’s teams have always reveled in that concept. Perhaps
       Courtney Maclay (14 G, 3 A) and Alexandra Fusco (11 G, 5 A) can
       be the Seawolves’ next offensive duo, or maybe Isabella
       Caporuscio (9 G, 3 A) steps up after drawing seven starts a year
       ago. The addition of Charlotte Wilmoth from UMass at least gives
       the Seawolves a steady presence on the attack. Defensively,
       Avery Hines (45 GB, 66 CT) will be the focal point along with
       Jordan Forte (14 GB), but there are other spots up for grabs.

       > It would not be surprising for Stony Brook to take some time
       to find its footing before rounding into typical Seawolves form
       by the midway point of 2025.

       No “big time” top 10 matchups on the schedule seems like a
       calculated decision by the program. They lost ALOT of talent to
       graduation, and need to establish an identity with a lot of
       unproven talent on the roster.  Schedule won’t matter much cuz a
       conference title is all that matters in terms of making the post
       season.  I Hope Spallina can turn a few of these unproven
       players into stars quickly.

       All-American defender Clare Levy returns … as a coach, and
       starting goalie Emily Manning and primary backup Aayliah Jones
       are also gone. But graduations are a common theme across
       Division I entering 2025.

       replace Ellie Masera with one player,” Spallina said. “We've
       become a little bit more by committee and system based.”

       > Ava Yancey, G, Fr. (Strath Haven High School, Pa.)
       >
       > Julia Fusco joins sister, Alexandra, in the midfield, and
       Spallina says she has a similar blue-collar style. And Ava
       Yancey is neck and neck with junior Francesca Viteritti in a
       four-goalie race for the starting nod along with sophomores
       Hannah Hudson and Natalia Altebrando. Neither returning
       netminder played in more than five games last year.

       > X-FACTOR
       > Casey Colbert, A, Sr.
       >
       > Spallina gave two X-factors — Maclay was the other, but we
       already covered her. Colbert has risen the depth chart and is a
       prime candidate to occupy the starting spot at X. Colbert saw
       time in six games as a junior and 13 games as a sophomore after
       not playing her freshman year in 2022. She was a USA Lacrosse
       All-American during her tenure at North Shore (N.Y.) High
       School.

       > “This year, we’ll rely a bit more on X’s and O’s rather than
       individual players to press the easy button to get us out of a
       jam,” he said. “We’re going to get back to what our program is
       about — giving players a chance and relying on the depth of the
       players we recruited.”
       >
       > The by-committee offense will include junior attacker Zoey
       Kruger and freshman Angela Beardsley. An athletic midfielder in
       Haydin Eisfeld is expected to contribute, and Molly LaForge will
       likely see more time after playing in 20 games and scoring four
       goals in 2024.

       > BALTIMORE, Md. – The Stony Brook women's lacrosse team gained

       No. 14 in the 2025 ILWomen/ KANE Division I Preseason Media
       Poll, as announced by the organization on Wednesday afternoon.
       The Seawolves have taken top marks amongst the coaches and the

       Stony Brook as No. 14 on Jan. 10. This season, the Seawolves
       will battle five different programs in the current top 25
       rankings – Johns Hopkins (No. 11), Denver (No. 15), Princeton
