3. Taryn Ohlmiller is recovered and reloaded
The 2018 season didn’t have the Hollywood ending that Stony Brook had hoped for, in large part due to an untimely injury to the Seawolves’ star sophomore Taryn Ohlmiller. In Stony Brook’s round-of-16 matchup with Penn, the younger Ohlmiller sister fell awkwardly with a torn ACL. She was unable to play in the Seawolves’ quarterfinal contest at Boston College, in which the unstoppable Long Island offense was stopped, and the Stony Brook season came to a crushing end.

Now a year later, her knee has been cleared for contact, and Taryn will try to prove she’s more than just Kylie’s sister.

Let’s compare the two Islip siblings, through their sophomore seasons:

Kylie Ohlmiller (2015-16): 41 games, 86 goals, 91 assists, 57.0 percent shooting

Taryn Ohlmiller (2017-18): 42 games, 117 goals, 91 assists, 53.2 percent shooting

Kylie finished her NCAA women’s lacrosse career as the most prolific scorer in the history of the sport, and yet Taryn is outpacing her as an underclassman. Taryn’s 208 career points are the second-most in the country among players currently entering their junior season, trailing only Navy’s Kelly Larkin.


If Ohlmiller can make a successful recovery from the injury and play a full season, there’s no reason Stony Brook won’t be in the picture at the end of the year.
