As Stony Brook prepares to take on Yale in its women's lacrosse season finale on Saturday, here's a look at some of the highs and lows of the season.
Stony Brook has a pair of high-scoring seniors who will be looking to make a mark in their final game. Melissa Cook is climbing up the record books, adding 25 goals this season for 109 in her career, fourth all-time. Cook is also fifth-best in points with 144. Classmate Samantha Djaha is close behind with 23 goals on the year, propelling her to 94 overall, good enough for fifth all-time. Djaha needs one more point to take over sole possession of seventh place in career points.
