A match-up of the defending NCAA champion and the nation’s hottest team lived up to the billing.

Stony Brook won its 12^th straight game, beating 2018 NCAA champion James Madison 10-9 in overtime in College Park, Md., on Nicole Barretta’s goal.

James Madison dominated the draw in the game, winning 15 of 21, but Stony Brook’s Ally Kennedy secured the draw to start overtime and Stony Brook called timeout. Just over a minute later, Rayna Sabella fed Barretta for the game-winner.
