Woods won his second Colonial Athletic Association Defensive Player of the Week award this season for Stony Brook Football, as he recorded 10 tackles, which led the team.

Woods, a defensive captain, made two key plays that helped Stony Brook take down Towson. He picked off a pass in the fourth quarter that set up the game-winning touchdown for Stony Brook and then made a crucial tackle on a 4th-and-2 to secure the victory. Stony Brook is back in action this Saturday for Homecoming against CAA opponent Rhode Island at 4 p.m..

Thompson won the America East Player of the Week for Stony Brook Women’s Soccer. She helped lead the Seawolves to a pair of victories, scoring the game-winning goal — a free-kick from nearly 30 yards — in the match against UMass Lowell.
