Reina (Frankfort, N.Y.) put the Red Storm ahead on the board first with a goal at 12:50. Reina gained control of a solid pass from midfield by freshman Erin Henderson (Watervliet, N.Y.) before averting a Stony Brook defender and sending the ball to the back of the net.
Freshman Kaitlin Schmidt (Centereach, N.Y.) gave St. Johns the 2-0 lead with her eighth goal of the season at 28:10. Henderson got the ball past the Stony Brook defense to set Schmidt up for the breakaway goal.
Reina and Schmidt teamed up to score the eventual gamewinner for the Red Storm. Sophomore Lauren McGrory (Happauge, N.Y.) sent a blast into the traffic in front of the goal. Schmidt then pushed a deflected shot across to Reina, who managed to put one past the Seawolves goalie.
With 52 seconds remaining in the first half, Stony Brook got on the board with a goal by Kirsandra Seaton. Jenny Fontanetta took a shot from the far side that was deflected off the crossbar and then converted by Seaton for the goal.
Stony Brook added another goal just after the break to cut the Red Storm lead to one. The Seawolves Jacqueline Anthony used a sliding shot to score off Danielle Lewis pass.
St. Johns freshman goalkeeper Tracey Rollings (Devon, England) faced 10 Stony Brook shots on goal, making eight saves on the day. For Stony Brook, Lauren Kohn made three saves on six Red Storm shots on goal.
