Some even say they may the dark horse for the entire NCAA Division I bracket. When people think of top DI teams, they immediately jump to Maryland and their former ACC opponents, but they usually don't think of any teams from the America East. The Seawolves could just be one of those thought-of teams this year. They were primarily in the conversation last season because of their goalie Frankie Caridi who finished the season with the best save percentage and goals-against average, subsequently creating the best scoring defense in Division I. However, Caridi graduated, leaving a huge hole for coach Joe Spallina to fill. Yet from their starting lineup, only two field players in addition to their goalie graduated, providing a lethal lineup for the 2015 season. They returned three of four defenders, 90.8 percent (227 of 250) of its goal scoring, and top midfielder Michelle Rubino who captured a team-high 49 draw controls. Who's in the cage is really their only concern. Joining the Seawolves staff for next season to help solve this issue are All-Americans and Tewaaraton contenders Demmianne Cook and Alyssa Murray. Last year was a banner season for the Seawolves, advancing to the NCAA Tournament before falling to Syracuse by seven goals in the second round. Starting three freshmen all year (leading scorer Courtney Murphy, plus Kristen Yevoli and Dorrien Van Dyke), they clinched the America East title for the second year in a row with 7-1 crushing blow to Albany. Stony Brook finished with 17 wins, which is tied for a single-season program record. Michelle Rubino, Stony Brook, Sr., M #1 A true power player for the Seawolves, Michelle Rubino will be key to the team's success in her senior campaign. She returns as a team captain and member of the All-America East first team and all-conference championship team. She tallied 59 points from 37 goals and 22 assists, but was a mainstay in the midfield grabbing 43 ground balls, 49 draw controls (team high) and 30 caused turnovers (league high). With coach Joe Spallina also as the head coach of MLL's New York Lizards, it has been said his college team embodies characteristics of how his MLL team plays. If this statement is true, Rubino would be a prime example.[/quote] #Post#: 12113-------------------------------------------------- Re: 2015 SBU Women's Lacrosse By: ry1nik Date: November 19, 2014, 11:27 am --------------------------------------------------------- Ladies' lax is SB's best hope for Top 10 ranking in any sport #Post#: 12215-------------------------------------------------- Re: 2015 SBU Women's Lacrosse By: Chairman of the Board Date: December 9, 2014, 11:07 am --------------------------------------------------------- IL preseason #15: (HTM) http://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/2015-face-off-yearbook-women-s-di-top-20/30267 #Post#: 12217-------------------------------------------------- Re: 2015 SBU Women's Lacrosse By: ecasadoSBU Date: December 9, 2014, 11:12 am --------------------------------------------------------- Thats great news. top 15 is legit! #Post#: 12227-------------------------------------------------- Re: 2015 SBU Women's Lacrosse By: Chairman of the Board Date: December 10, 2014, 11:09 am --------------------------------------------------------- not that this means much, but the IL preseason AA list includes rubino, van dyke, and fleming on the HM team: (HTM) http://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/2015-face-off-yearbook-di-all-americans/30276/4 #Post#: 12717-------------------------------------------------- Re: 2015 SBU Women's Lacrosse By: Chairman of the Board Date: March 2, 2015, 1:27 pm --------------------------------------------------------- new ranking- from 17 to 14: (HTM) http://laxmagazine.com/college_women/DI/2014-15/lm_rankings 16 in the IL media poll: (HTM) http://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/media-poll-no-3-duke-continues-climb-no-17-james-madison-enters/31099<br /> #Post#: 12799-------------------------------------------------- Re: 2015 SBU Women's Lacrosse By: Chairman of the Board Date: March 9, 2015, 8:21 am --------------------------------------------------------- ladylax is 3-0 and its just another ho-hum start. which is great of course. expectation is that we win.
