STONY BROOK, N.Y. – The Drexel University women's lacrosse team saw its historic season come to a close in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament with a 16-4 loss at No. 8 Stony Brook on Friday afternoon.

Trailing 2-0, Schneidereith put Drexel on the board when she scored on the free position at the 5:38 mark. Zoe Bennett helped to keep the Dragons close, making four saves in the period. The Seawolves recorded two more tallies, the last with 100 seconds left in the quarter. With time winding down, DU got one of the goals back as Grady posted a strong individual effort to close to 4-2 at the end of the period.

SBU looked as if it was going to pull away, methodically extending the lead to 7-2 with just less than seven minutes left into the second.
