UMBC at No. 1 Stony BrookSaturday, 3 p.m., AmericaEast.TVUMBC Athletics’ Twitter account is already playing up this game. Why? The Retrievers are playing another No. 1 team, this time being Stony Brook women’s lacrosse. Can they knock off yet another top-ranked, undefeated lacrosse team? The Seawolves boast the No. 1 scoring defense and No. 2 scoring offense, while also sitting first in assists per game, points per game and shot percentage – so the Stony Brook women's lacrosse Twitter account promptly responded. Will it be an America East battle or Twitterverse battle? Stay tuned.
WHAT WE’RE WATCHINGEver wanted to hear Stony Brook coach Joe Spallina pump his squad up? He was mic'd up during the Seawolves game against Johns Hopkins last week. Enjoy.Ever wonder what it’s like to be on the sideline during a Stony Brook women’s lacrosse contest at LaValle Stadium?We take you behind the scenes during last Friday's victory over Johns Hopkins.| Mic’d Up w/ @JoeSpallina #SeawolvesUnited | #NCAAWLAX | #AEWLAX pic.twitter.com/1So7ndn7IJ— Stony Brook WLAX (@StonyBrookWLAX) April 19, 2018
Kylie Ohlmiller (Islip, N.Y.) broke the NCAA Division I career points record in the first half of play, surpassing the previous record set by Maryland's Jen Adams (445). She became the NCAA Division I career assist leader in the second half of play, breaking the previous record for helpers set by Northwestern's Hannah Nielsen (224). Ohlmiller now has 62 goals and 49 assists for 111 total points in 2018.
The potential for mayhem starts tomorrow when No. 16 Penn State, a NCAA semifinalist the last two years, visits No. 1 Stony Brook in the Seawolves final nonconference game of the regular season.
UMBC's Carolyn Jamison scored her second goal of the game with 10:14 remaining in the opening half to tie the score 5-5, and then Stony Brook happened.The Seawolves exploded for nine goals in the final 10 minutes of the first half, highlighted by a behind-the-back goal by Kylie Ohlmiller, which gave the senior 446 points for her career to break Jen Adams (Maryland 1998-2001) 17-year-old NCAA career scoring mark.
“I think there’ll be equipment named after her. I think she’ll have her own equipment line,” Spallina said. “I think she’ll have whatever she wants in this sport.”
Stony Brook's Kylie Ohlmiller becomes NCAA all-time points, assists leader
My biggest thing is making sure we get a win in the next game and making sure we get wins throughout the board so we’re home for the next month or so and we can have a million more senior days.Friday night drew 3,123 people for the team’s game against No. 22 Johns Hopkins, the largest crowd for a single game in women’s lacrosse program history. Many of the fans were lining up two hours in advance of the 7 p.m. start time.It was unreal,” Ohlmiller said. “It’s been pretty amazing to see how we’ve turned this program around into Long Island’s team in general. Just to see the amount of people lined up outside for this one game, it was just really, really cool. It’s very humbling because it’s a tribute to all of our hard work.“I’ve never hidden from the fact that she’s the best player in the world,” Spallina said. “She’s the best player in NCAA lacrosse. I would put my name on that. I’m not going to hide from that. I’ve been saying that for years.”
