The Seawolves are the last team in the Colonial Athletic Association to receive a bye week, which comes just as the team started to show signs of life in a 27-14 win against Richmond last week.
With the goal-line stand, the Seawolves lost their first ever game in program history to Rhode Island. The 27-20 road overtime defeat on Oct. 2 handed Stony Brook its third consecutive loss, to another opponent that it had historically dominated.
A year ago, the Stony Brook football team was coming off their second straight appearance in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoffs. Fast forward and they find themselves watching 24 other teams compete for a national title as they ponder a lost season.
From the opening kickoff to the final whistle, the Stony Brook University football team was in the control of the game on Saturday, Sept. 21 versus the Fordham University Rams.
Locked in a neck-and-neck battle against the Manhattan Jaspers on Wednesday, Dec. 5, Stony Brook Men’s Basketball redshirt-junior forward Akwasi Yeboah proved to the NCAA why he was named America East Player of the Week for three consecutive weeks.
As Quinnipiac graduate guard Cameron Young stepped to the free throw line with 3:58 remaining, his team had closed the Stony Brook Men’s Basketball lead to just four when they were down 20 in the first half.
Though the second half has been disappointing, the Seawolves have a chance to flip the script this weekend at the Eastern States Collegiate Hockey League tournament.
Stony Brook fell behind Rhode Island 3-2 in the second period of Saturday afternoon's game and, despite many opportunities to tie the game, never climbed back. This weekend’s split makes Stony Brook’s 2017-18 regular season record 21-7-4.
