Stony Brook, which was awarded the 2018 Division I women's lacrosse championship after hosting in 2011 and 2012, also submitted a bid to host this spring.Seawolves director of athletics Shawn Heilbron announced the school's decision in his "Together We Transform Thursday" blog on Sept. 15, noting that "the spirit in which the NCAA acted earlier this week is alive and well at Stony Brook." Coach Joe Spallina also supported Stony Brook's bid with LaValle Stadium as the venue."I think Stony Brook would be a perfect venue to hold the final four on short notice," said Spallina. "To me, it is an absolute no brainer – great stadium in a hotbed that could guarantee a packed house with experience hosting."
