AEC Rewind

What a weekend it was in the America East! A one goal game in the women's soccer final, Albany winning its third field hockey title in five years and a pair of overtime games in the men's soccer quarterfinals (two very different games). Volleyball also continued its charge towards the postseason, as no team has officially locked up a playoff spot yet. It's been a great Fall Championship season so far, but it's not over just yet. Let's look back on this weekend's games.

Box Scores, Recaps and Highlights

Women's Soccer

Stony Brook celebrating its first women's soccer championship.

Stony Brook became the first No. 6 seed to win the women's soccer tournament, capturing a 1-0 win over Hartford. It was a physical game on both sides, as the Seawolves made an early goal by Larissa Nysch stand up for the rest of the game. Hartford nearly tied the game twice in the last fifteen minutes, one chance coming from the conference Striker of the Year, Amelia Pereira. Today at 4:30, Stony Brook will find out where they get to play next.

Field Hockey

Albany has won three field hockey titles in the last five years.

Albany's two first half goals were enough to beat top seeded New Hampshire. First-Team All-Conference selection Corrine McConville got the scoring going in the first before Co-Offensive Player of the Year Daphne Voormolen tacked on what would prove to be the winning goal. McConville added another goal in the second half to put the game out of reach, as the Great Danes would go on to win 3-1. Albany is red hot at the right time, having won its last eight games by a combined score of 29-4. The field hockey bracket will be unveiled tomorrow night.

Men's Soccer

Binghamton 4, at Stony Brook 5 (OT)
New Hampshire 0, at Albany 0 (2OT); New Hampshire advances on PKs 5-4 in six rounds.

The men's soccer quarterfinals were a tale of two very different games. In the first game, Binghamton and Stony Brook combined for nine goals as the Seawolves came out on top. This one was full of drama, as Stony Brook trailed 4-2 with 20 minutes to go before storming back and scoring three unanswered, including the overtime period, to advance. Alejandro Fritz tied an America East Championship single game record with five points on two goals and an assist. Stony Brook will face UMBC on Wednesday.

Box/Recap

In the nightcap, Albany and New Hampshire went 110 minutes without a goal. It was a decidedly defensive battle, as neither team has many scoring chances throughout regulation and overtime. In penalty kicks, Wildcats' goalkeeper Travis Worra stopped the first and last shots that he saw, the save coming on a brilliant diving effort to stop a shot headed to the lower right side. New Hampshire will now travel to Vermont for the semifinals on Wednesday.
