Even if a national championship never happens, I think
Spallina's attitude will draw consistent Top 10-15 success to
the program, which is really all we can expect.
Towson game is totally winnable. Then there's Syracuse. Albany
(which did not make the Tournament) lost only three games all
season. Two were to SB (fortunately) while the other was to #1
Syracuse at the Carrier Dome....by only two goals. That shows
that SB has a great chance to make it a close game.

That's correct ry1nik.. Win a couple of conference champion
games and the local greats will want to go to that school and be
apart of winning. Now, if we can only get the mens basketball to
make a trip or two to the NCAA...

Winning does draw winners that's for sure. Womens Lax
hopefully will draw some top talent from across the Island and
maybe NJ and CT. Stay in the top 15 every season and who
knows catch a break and maybe a shot at a National Title.

[quote]3. Can Stony Brook repeat, maybe even surpass, its 2013
performance?
Stony Brook finds itself back in a familiar spot as it prepares
to face Towson in the first round Friday at Syracuse.
The America East champion Seawolves beat Towson 8-6 in the first
round last year in their first ever tournament appearance since
the program's Division I debut in 2003. The magic on a
historical 17-win season ran out in the second round against
Maryland, an 11-3 loss, but Stony Brook (16-3) could be in a
better spot this time, despite losing a heralded seven-player
class of 2013 to graduation.
"Last year was uncharted territory for us," coach Joe Spallina
said. "This year, it's something some of the kids have
experienced, so that can't hurt. Them knowing what kind of
atmosphere they are going into, the buzz of the crowd, it's
important for our kids to go in with some comfort in that. ...
Even the new kids have played in big games this season, so I
feel good about them being able to transition into the new
season with NCAAs."
Towson (11-7), the Colonial Athletic Association champs, enters
the game having won nine of its last 12 games after losing four
straight as part of a 2-4 start to the season. The Tigers
finished 10-9 last year.
Stony Brook has won 12 of its last 13 games � with an unexpected
slipup against Vermont � and its only other losses were to
Florida and Notre Dame (by one goal). The Seawolves beat Albany
7-1 on Sunday for their second straight America East title.
"We've had a nice season," Spallina said. "We're young. There
are some games we haven't played to our potential, but I feel
good about how we played this past weekend (in the conference
tournament), and we've got good momentum."
Although Stony Brook has a little more confidence going into
this tournament, compared to last year, Spallina said Towson
will be a challenge.
"They are a great program," Spallina said. "They have a great
coach, tough kids. We've had some good battles with CAA schools
this year, and we have a tremendous amount of respect for them.
I'm not sure there's much you can take year to year from past
games except overall style. They were a tough, disciplined
group, and we are going to have to play well defensively. They
are going to be deliberate in their attack, and we have to be
opportunistic on both ends."
Should the Seawolves repeat their 2013 performance, a matchup
with Syracuse awaits them. Albany, who Stony Brook beat twice
this year, came within two goals of the Orange � a game Spallina
watched to scout the Great Danes.
"Syracuse is a tremendous team," Spallina said. "They have a
great program, and every year they're in the Final Four it
seems. That's been a bench mark for a lot of programs, but we
have to take it one game at a time. We're focused on Towson, and
if that goes well, we will look forward to a chance to play
Syracuse."

Women's lax up 9-0 over Towson at the half. That's 9 goals on
only 10 shots. Amazing. These girls are for real.

The team that played the first half can beat Syracuse. The team
that showed up in the second half will get clobbered.
