Campbell, Belton help SBU earn first win

Robbie Campbell had two goals and two assists and Kyle Belton added two goals to lead the Stony Brook men's lacrosse team to a 7-6 win over No. 18 Delaware Saturday in Newark, Del.

Jeff Tundo had three assists for the Seawolves (1-3).

"We came into this game with the mind-set of limiting man-up opportunities,'' coach Jim Nagle said. "If you foul only once, your time of possession goes up. I thought for the first time this year, the team came together.''

Delaware's Grant Kaleikau, who led the Blue Hens (3-4) with 11 goals and 17 assists entering the game, was held to two goals and an assist.

Campbell and Russ Bonanno had man-up goals in the first quarter as Stony Brook took a 3-1 lead. After Delaware scored four straight goals, Belton tallied back-to-back goals to make it 5-5 at halftime.

Freshman Mike Andreassi's goal at 14:04 of the third quarter gave the Seawolves the lead for good at 6-5. Sophomore Matt Bellando took Campbell's pass five yards from the top of the crease and scored what proved to be the game-winner 57 seconds into the fourth quarter.

Kaleikau scored 23 seconds later, ending Delaware's scoring drought at nearly 19 minutes. But it was the only goal Delaware scored in the second half as Stony Brook won its sixth straight over the Blue Hens.

Ryan Keneally and Sean Brady split time in goal for Stony Brook. Brady finished with five saves and Keneally had four.
