STONY BROOK, N.Y.—The William & Mary women's soccer team had their unbeaten streak snapped, losing their first game of the year on Sunday at Stony Brook, 4-0.
 
The Tribe (7-1-5, 4-1-2) started off pushing for an early goal, with Mia Suchora collecting three shots on goal, and Kayleigh Shackford another, in the first 17 minutes of the game, but all were saved by the Stony Brook keeper.
 
The Seawolves (4-4-4, 2-3-2) had a chance in the 23^rd minute to open the scoring, but Nicole Sellers made a great recovery play, sliding in to knock the ball out of bounds before the shot could be taken.
 
Eventually the hosts broke through in the 40^th minute taking a 1-0 lead to the halftime break. It was the second time the Tribe had trailed at the half this season.
 
SBU took no time to expand their lead, with a player taken down in the box in the opening minute of the second half. After they converted the penalty it was 2-0 Seawolves.
 
W&M attempted to respond, applying pressure with shots from Gabriella Kurtas and Kenna Zier in the 55^thminute, but both were saved.
 
Both teams battled for possession in the midfield over the next 20 minutes until the Seawolves put the game away in the 76^th minute.
 
After being awarded a free kick, SBU played the ball into the box where it was headed home off a bounce to make the score 3-0. Another insurance goal was added in the 85^th minute, making the final 4-0.
 
The final shot tally was 12-9 SBU and Zoe Doughty made four saves in goal for the Tribe.
