Lacrosse: Northwestern bests No. 4 Stony Brook, 13-8

What’s better than a Friday night, top-5 matchup in Ryan Fieldhouse?

A win, and the Lakeshow fans getting to see Izzy Scane drop eight goals on one of the toughest defenses in the country, of course.

Undefeated and fourth-ranked Stony Brook came to Evanston to try and put their program to the test, something they were not able to do last season, as they fell 16-12 on March 10 of last year. The Long Island program, led by junior attacker Ellie Masera, seems to be creeping closer to cracking the top five each season. They did so earlier this week, climbing the rankings from seventh to fourth after taking down ranked teams in Stanford, Yale and Michigan.
