Special report on the Florida Gators lacrosse team:

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Fifth-year senior Nicole Graziano stepped up big for the Orange and Blue with four goals, an assist, five draw controls and two caused turnovers as the No. 3 Gators edged No. 10 Stony Brook, 7-6, at LaValle Stadium Sunday afternoon. Florida improved to 7-0 on the season with its third top-10 win on the road and fourth ranked win of the season. Graziano, the reigning BIG EAST Midfielder of the Week, made a case for weekly honors yet again with season highs in goals (4), points (5) and draw controls (5) against Stony Brook. In the cage, senior Mary-Sean Wilcox went the distance for Florida to improve to 7-0 on the season with eight saves. Wilcox has eight or more saves in all three of UF's top-10 road wins. Florida was dominating in the draw circle, taking 11 draws compared to Stony Brook's two. Junior Mollie Stevens put the Gators on the board first at the 26:38 mark of the first period, but the Seawolves countered with two straight scores for the 2-1 lead before Graziano took over with four unanswered scores for the 5-2 lead at the half. The Seawolves slowly chipped away at the Gators lead to tie the game 5-5 at the 14:19 mark in the second period on a man-up, free-position goal, but junior attack Sammi Burgess got one right back for Florida after being fed by Graziano with 14:07 on the clock. Junior defender Taylor Bresnahan followed with her third defensive goal of the season for the 7-5 Florida lead before Stony Brook countered with 9:35 on the clock to narrow UF's lead, 7-6. Stony Brook took the lone shot in the last nine minutes of play with 1:08 on the clock, and Wilcox came up huge yet again to solidify Florida's seventh win of the season. The Gators now return home to the Sunshine State for a five-game home stand after snapping Stony Brook's five-game home-opener winning streak with Sunday's victory.

It's been a tough stretch. We're looking forward to being at home in Gainesville for the next couple of weeks."
