Final: Florida 12, Stony Brook 10

The Sea Wolves took a 5-1 lead with 11:12 remaining in the first half after Taryn Ohlmiller scored her second of th afternoon.
The Gators didn’t flinch, however, and over the final 8:48 of the first half, managed to tie the game entering halftime. Kassidy Bresnahan and Maggie Corbo both recorded their first goals of the season before Grace Haus added the equalizer.
After allowing a goal :43 into the second period, the Gators went on a 3-0 run to give them a 8-6 advantage.

Tied at 9, Shannon Kavanagh added her fourth goal of the day to put the Gators back out front. Emily Heller added a foal a goal with 11:40 to play.
That was all Florida needed, though Brianna Harris added her 14th goal of the season with 2:32 left to clinch the victory.
