Carolyn Carrera’s play makes SBU senior day a winner
https://www.newsday.com/sports/college/stony-brook/carolyn-carrera-s-play-sbu-makes-senior-day-a-winner-1.18063952Carrera, a starting defender in every game this season, contributed most in the draw circle. Considered the No. 2 option on the depth chart behind junior Keri McCarthy, Carrera drew the start in the circle as a senior and dominated, helping Stony Brook win 25 of 28 draws.
“I think it’s really a tribute just to the mentality we have on this entire team,” said Carrera, who played her first two years at Hofstra. “Every day we’re getting after it, so we have draw practice every single day. Yeah, I wasn’t seeing that time on the field in the games, but we were still putting in that work every single day.”
Stony Brook’s senior class has been instrumental in the program’s rise to the top of the rankings, accruing 86 wins to date and winning each of the last five America East championships. Gubitosi, a defender who scored her second career goal Sunday, was happy to share the field with her class.
