Stony Brook men’s basketball battled with Northeastern, ultimately falling 70-66, on Jan. 11 at Stony Brook Arena. The Seawolves erased a 14-point, first-half deficit, but faltered down the stretch and allowed the Huskies to escape with the four-point victory.

Northeastern started fast, scoring the first eight points of the evening and building an early 10-3 lead.

CJ Luster II started scorching hot to allow Stony Brook to hang around in the early going, connecting on a pair of threes to get the Seawolves on the board.

The Huskies built their lead back to seven points at the 12:10 mark, but the Seawolves fought back to make it a one-possession game on multiple occasions.

Northeastern used a 16-4 run to construct a 14-point lead, the largest gap between the two teams in the first half. The run spanned more than four minutes. The Huskies carried a 13-point advantage into the intermission.

Stony Brook narrowed the deficit to single digits on a Joe Octave jumper early in the second half, but Northeastern responded with a three on the ensuing possession to push the Seawolves’ deficit back to double figures.

Another Seawolves spurt offensively made it an eight-point game with more than 14 minutes remaining. Nick Woodard buried a triple to bookend a 7-0 Stony Brook run, bringing the Seawolves within five points of the Huskies.

Stony Brook tied the contest at 50 on a Woodard basket inside with 8:07 to play, evening the score for the first time since the opening tip.

The Seawolves grabbed their first lead of the evening, 52-50, on a basket inside by Woodard out of the under-eight timeout.

Stony Brook’s lead grew to five points on a steal-and-score by Collin O’Connor, leading to a Northeastern timeout. Defensively, the Seawolves forced five Huskies’ turnovers and held Northeastern without a point for more than four minutes to turn a five-point deficit into a five-point advantage with 5:31 to play.JB Frankel ended Northeastern’s scoring drought with a trifecta on a second-chance effort, but O’Connor answered on the other end to make it a two-possession contest once more.

Back-to-back Northeastern baskets followed, tying the game at 57-57 and forcing Stony Brook to use its first timeout of the second half. The Huskies regained the lead, 59-57, with two minutes remaining after Masai Troutman was fouled on a three-point attempt and made two of three.

Northeastern scored 11 straight points, holding Stony Brook scoreless for more than four minutes to erase the deficit and take a 64-57 lead with less than a minute to play.

Leon Nahar and Woodard connected on three-pointers, with Woodard’s pulling the Seawolves within three points of Northeastern with 16 seconds left. 

Andre Snoddy buried a triple after a pair of Huskies’ free throws, making it a one-possession game again, but Troutman made his 13th and 14th free throws of the contest to make it a four-point game with 2.6 seconds left.

Northeastern ultimately erased the late deficit and completed the comeback, taking down Stony Brook 70-66.

“We really competed hard tonight. The crowd was awesome. We were up five points with five minutes to go and just couldn’t make a big play down the stretch,” said head coach Geno Ford. “We took some steps forward in some areas and just have to keep working at it.”

Up next, the team hits the road to face Delaware on Thursday, Jan. 16. The Seawolves and Blue Hens tip-off at 6:30 p.m. from the Bob Carpenter Center, with the contest streaming on FloCollege.

After falling behind 2-0, Stony Brook went on a 9-0 run with 8:16 left in the first quarter to take a seven-point advantage. The Seawolves then added three points to that lead by the end of the period and entered the quarter break with a score of 18-8. Stony Brook relied on its three-point shooting in the period, knocking down four shots to account for 12 of its 18 points. Brantley led with a pair of three-pointers through the opening frame.

Stony Brook kept its first quarter lead intact before going on an 8-0 run starting at the 6:08 mark in the second period to increase its lead to 30-14. The Tribe cut into that lead, but the Seawolves still enjoyed a 32-18 advantage heading into halftime. Stony Brook dominated in the paint, collecting baskets from Shamarla King, Brantley, Gonzalez, and Ware.

Stony Brook continued to preserve its halftime lead before going on a 5-0 run, punctuated by a three from Chloe Oliver, to expand its lead further to 42-23 with 6:03 to go in the third. Before the conclusion of the third period, the Tribe were able to reduce the deficit, but the Seawolves still entered the fourth quarter with a 48-34 edge.

Stony Brook kept its lead intact before going on a 10-0 run to grow the lead to 66-45 with 2:07 to go in the contest. The Tribe narrowed the margin before the game was over, but the Seawolves still cruised the rest of the way for the 66-48 win.

Stony Brook men’s basketball fell to Drexel, 67-51, on Thursday evening at Stony Brook Arena. CJ Luster II tallied a team-high 21 points, but the Seawolves offense was outscored 13-2 over the final eight-plus minutes of action and suffered a loss at the hands of the Dragons.

Stony Brook and Drexel went back and forth early on before the Dragons took control out of the under-12 media timeout.

Drexel used a 20-7 run that spanned nearly eight minutes to turn a one-point game into a 30-16 advantage with less than five minutes to play in the half.

The Seawolves’ offense ripped off 10 unanswered points, holding Drexel scoreless for more than four minutes to trim their deficit to four points. The Dragons broke the scoreless streak with a basket in the final minute of the half, but Luster’s buzzer-beating jumper made it a four-point game again as the contest entered the intermission.

Stony Brook kept it close, staying within one or two possessions of Drexel for the first 11-plus minutes of the second half, but could not find a way to go in front. A Joe Octave basket with 8:11 to play made it a five-point game, 54-49, but the Seawolves’ offense went cold.

Drexel scored 10 straight points, holding Stony Brook scoreless for more than seven minutes to ice the game.

Stony Brook did not make a field goal over the final eight-plus minutes of play, missing its final seven field goal attempts and eventually falling, 67-51, to Drexel.

The team wraps up its three-game homestand, welcoming Northeastern on Jan. 11. The Seawolves and Huskies tip-off at 7 pm from Stony Brook Arena, with the contest airing live on SNY and streaming on FloCollege.

Stony Brook men’s basketball fell in its CAA home opener to William & Mary, 83-76, on Jan. 4 at Stony Brook Arena. CJ Luster II scored a game-high 22 points to lead a trio of double-digit scorers for the Seawolves in the loss.

Stony Brook and William & Mary traded blows early, with each side holding a lead during the opening three minutes of action. The Seawolves used an early 9-0 run to take a 19-11 lead, the largest gap between the two teams in the first half. The Tribe responded with an 11-2 run of their own, whittling the deficit to one point.

William & Mary battled back to tie the game on two occasions, before regaining the lead on an Isaiah Mbeng triple with 5:30 to play in the first stanza. A Nick Woodard steal and score in transition put the Seawolves ahead again, 33-32, but the Tribe closed the half on a 10-4 run to take a 42-37 lead into the locker room.

Andre Snoddy and Jared Frey opened the second-half scoring with back-to-back baskets, giving the Seawolves an advantage in the scoring column again. The Seawolves maintained a lead until the 12-minute mark when the Tribe used a 7-2 run to even the score at 58 apiece.

William & Mary fell behind again, but took control of the lead with 9:23 to play and never trailed from that point on. Stony Brook leveled the contest once more, but could not overcome the deficit. The Tribe’s Isaiah Mbeng buried an end-of-shot-clock three-pointer with 67 seconds remaining in the contest to ice the game.

“Give William & Mary credit, they were able to score in crunch time with some big shots. We had the ball four straight times in the last three minutes and had plenty of chances to take the lead and weren’t able to score,” head coach Geno Ford said. “We are getting better, which is encouraging, but we haven’t found anyone who can deliver big baskets for us in crunch time. Once we can get that, we will start to win these types of games.”

Up next, the team continues its three-game homestand, hosting Drexel on Jan. 9. The Seawolves and Dragons tip-off at 7 p.m. from Stony Brook Arena, with the contest airing live on SNY and streaming on FloCollege.

The Stony Brook women’s basketball team fell to Monmouth, 75-61, on Jan. 5 at the OceanFirst Bank Center in West Long Branch, N.J. Despite Janay Brantley’s first career double-double and Breauna Ware dropping 19 points, the Seawolves were defeated by the Hawks for their first CAA loss of the season.  

Janay Brantley

The Seawolves had three players score in double figures, led by Brantley and Ware who each scored 19 points. Brantley added a team-high 10 rebounds as Shamarla King chipped in with 15 points, seven rebounds and four steals.

Stony Brook struggled out of the gate, scoring only 12 points with King accounting for seven herself. Monmouth pieced together a team-effort first quarter with six players scoring through the opening frame to take a 23-12 lead. 

Stony Brook then started off the second quarter by going on a 7-0 run, highlighted by buckets from Brantley and Ware, to narrow its deficit to 23-19. The Hawks responded and expanded their lead, leaving the Seawolves trailing 38-25 heading into halftime.

After intermission, Stony Brook cut its deficit to 40-28 before going on a 6-0 run, punctuated by a basket from King, to trim its deficit to 40-34 with 6:21 to go in the third. Monmouth countered and stretched its lead once again heading into the fourth with a score of 58-42. Stony Brook played well near the basket, scoring 14 of its 17 points in the paint.

The Seawolves continued to shrink their deficit at 65-55 with 4:44 to go in the contest. The Hawks responded and outscored the Seawolves the rest of the way, ending the game with a final score of 75-61. Stony Brook took advantage of five Monmouth turnovers in the quarter, but it wasn’t enough to help the Seawolves emerge victorious.

Up next, the team welcomes William & Mary to Long Island for the conference home opener on Jan. 10. The Seawolves and Tribe tip-off at 7 p.m. from Stony Brook Arena, with the contest airing live on SNY and streaming on FloCollege.

Under his guidance, the team rose from a last-place preseason projection to achieve its highest conference standing since 2018. Cosh’s efforts earned him both the CAA Coach of the Year and the AFCA Region 1 Coach of the Year honors.

Janay Brantley scored a career-high 25 points and Breauna Ware added 19 to push the Stony Brook women’s basketball team over the Northeastern Huskies, 72-51, to open CAA play on the road in Boston, Mass. on Jan. 3.

Brantley led the Seawolves with 25 points as Ware tacked on 19 points, five assists and two steals and Dallysshya Moreno chipped in with 10 points and nine rebounds off of the bench.

Stony Brook shared the ball well in Friday’s contest, racking up 15 assists on 29 made field goals. Individually, Ware and Shamarla King each dished out five assists for the Seawolves.

The Stony Brook defense held Northeastern shooters to just 35.7 percent from the field. The Huskies did not get many second opportunities on the offensive end, as they grabbed only seven offensive rebounds and scored six second chance points while Stony Brook pulled down 30 defensive rebounds.

HOW IT HAPPENED

After falling behind 3-2, Stony Brook went on a 5-0 run with 7:53 left in the first quarter, culminating in a three from Brantley, to take a 7-3 lead. The Huskies fought back but the Seawolves still entered the quarter break with a 20-17 advantage. Brantley led through the first 10 minutes with seven points as Stony Brook tallied 10 of their points in the paint.

Northeastern rallied to take a 24-23 lead before Stony Brook went on a 6-0 run starting at the 5:57 mark in the second period, highlighted by a bucket from Ware, to go up 29-24. A pair of three pointers from Brantley would help the Seawolves hold a 34-28 advantage going into halftime.

Stony Brook continued to preserve its first half lead before going on a 7-0 run, punctuated by a three from Zaida Gonzalez, to expand its lead further to 49-36 with 4:02 to go in the third. The Seawolves added a bucket to close out the quarter with a 55-40 edge.

Stony Brook kept its lead intact before going on a 6-0 run, finished off by Elizabeth Field’s layup, to grow the lead to 72-51 with 44 seconds to go in the contest, a score which would hold for the rest of the game.

“Great road win to start conference play,” noted head coach Joy McCorvey postgame. “We battled through Northeastern’s runs and put together multiple stops in a row which helped us pull away in the second half. Brantley was huge for us tonight on both ends of the ball. She works so hard, and I’m glad she was rewarded on the offensive end with a career high tonight. Ware also played tremendous minutes tonight and was very efficient with her scoring along with five assists. A big focus for her has been finding the balance of getting others involved while also being a scorer for us. Moreno was a major spark off the bench and helped give us a big presence on the glass and finished with 10 points.”

“We are continuing to work hard on sharing the ball and limiting our turnovers and tonight we did that with 15 assists and only six turnovers. Huge growth for us and hopefully we can bring that momentum into Sunday’s game. Quick turnaround, but we will celebrate this first one and move on to Monmouth,” she added.

The team returns to the court on Sunday, Jan. 5 to take on Monmouth in West Long Branch, N.J. with tip-off scheduled for 2 p.m. The Seawolves are 5-3 all-time against the Hawks as they emerged victorious in their last matchup on Feb. 4, 2024, down the shore, 78-62. The game will be streamed live on FloCollege.

Following their best season since 2018, the Stony Brook football team, in collaboration with the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA), has unveiled its 2025 schedule. The Seawolves will play six games at LaValle Stadium, open their season with a historic trip to San Diego, and the much-anticipated “Battle for the Golden Apple” at UAlbany.

Season Opener in San Diego

Stony Brook begins its 2025 campaign on August 28 with a first-ever matchup against San Diego State. The game marks the Seawolves’ sole FBS opponent of the season, extending their streak of competing against at least one FBS team every full season since 2010. Stony Brook will aim to secure its second all-time victory over an FBS opponent, with their first win coming against Army in 2012.

Home Opener at LaValle Stadium

The Seawolves return to LaValle Stadium on September 6 to face Rhode Island in their first meeting since 2023. Stony Brook holds a 7-3 all-time record against the Rams and will look to snap a three-game losing streak against the Rams. Stony Brook ended a 13-game losing streak with their victory over Stonehill in last season’s home-opener and owns 6-5 record in their last 11 home openers dating back to 2013-14.

Rivalry with Fordham Continues

On September 13, the Seawolves host Fordham in their ninth all-time meeting. After three consecutive losses to the Rams from 2021 to 2023, Stony Brook claimed a 27-21 victory in the Bronx last season. The all-time series is currently tied 4-4, 2-2 on the road and home, with Stony Brook seeking to gain the edge.

First-Ever Trip to Lindenwood

Stony Brook will head to Saint Charles, Missouri, on September 20 for its inaugural matchup against Lindenwood University. Lindenwood, coming off a 5-7 season, highlighted by a victory over No. 6 Southeast Missouri State, represents a fresh challenge for the Seawolves.

Non-Conference Finale vs. Merrimack

On September 27, Stony Brook welcomes Merrimack to LaValle Stadium for the first time since 1998. The Seawolves hold a 2-0 all-time record against Merrimack, whose 2024 season featured victories over 2024 Stony Brook opponents in Fordham, Stonehill, and Morgan State.

Battle for the Golden Apple

Stony Brook will travel to UAlbany on October 4 to defend the Golden Apple after reclaiming it in 2024. This will mark the 27th meeting between the rivals, including the 11th straight season with both schools members of the CAA, with UAlbany leading the series 15-11.

Road Game at Monmouth

Following a bye week, the Seawolves travel to the Jersey Shore to face Monmouth on October 18. Stony Brook seeks to end a three-game losing streak against the Hawks and avenge their 2024 season finale defeat. This marks the 11th meeting all-time between these two programs, Monmouth holding the series lead with seven wins and three defeats.

Home Clash with Towson

The Seawolves host Towson on October 25 for the 11th meeting between the teams. Stony Brook snapped a three-game losing streak to the Tigers in 2024 with a record-setting six-touchdown performance by quarterback Tyler Knoop. The Seawolves will be looking for their first victory at LaValle Stadium over the Tigers since 2017.

Voyage to Maine

Stony Brook begins the final month of the regular season on November 1 with a trip to Orono to face Maine. This will be the Seawolves’ first visit to Maine since their 2023 defeat and marks the 11th all-time meeting between the programs. The Black Bears hold a 6-4 advantage in the series, including a 4-2 record in games played at Maine.

Matchup Against the Aggies

On November 8, Stony Brook will host North Carolina A&T in the first-ever meeting between the two programs. The Aggies joined the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) in 2023 and have posted a 2-21 (0-16 CAA) record over their two seasons in the conference. Before joining the CAA, North Carolina A&T recorded a 12-10 record from 2021-23 in the Big South and dominated the MEAC with a 31-5 record over their final three seasons in the league.

The Final Road Trip

The Seawolves will travel to Villanova on November 15 for a challenging matchup against an FCS Playoff contender. This will be the ninth all-time meeting between the programs, with Stony Brook looking to avenge their 2024 defeat at LaValle Stadium. The Seawolves’ last two victories over the Wildcats came against ranked Villanova teams, and they are seeking their first win in the series since 2019.

Home Finale

Stony Brook concludes the regular season on November 22 with a home game against Bryant. The Seawolves secured an overtime victory in their 2024 meeting in Rhode Island and hold a 3-2 advantage in the all-time series. Stony Brook has won three consecutive games against the Bulldogs, dating back to 2018.

About the 2025 CAA Schedule 

The conference slate includes four home games and four road contests for each team. There is at least one conference game during all 13 weeks of the schedule, starting with Campbell at defending champion Rhode Island on Friday, August 29.

The non-conference schedule features 16 games against FBS opponents, including three Big Ten opponents (Iowa, Maryland, Penn State) and three ACC foes (Duke, NC State, Virginia).

Four CAA Football teams earned FCS playoffs berths in 2024, which marked the third year in a row and 14th time overall that at least four teams were chosen. The conference has had at least one team

advance to the semifinals in 10 of the last 12 years and has had a team reach the national championship game 11 times since 2003.

Stony Brook football head coach Billy Cosh

Adding to an already stellar list of accolades, head coach Billy Cosh has been named the 2024 Walter Camp FCS Coach of the Year, as announced by the organization on Dec. 31. This prestigious honor comes after Cosh was named the AFCA FCS Coach of the Year, AFCA Regional Coach of the Year, and CAA Coach of the Year earlier this postseason.

Now in its second year, the Walter Camp FCS Coach of the Year award recognizes the top head coach in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). Last season, the honor went to Greg Gattuso from UAlbany, another Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) head coach. Notable recipients of the Walter Camp Coach of the Year award at the FBS level include legendary names such as Nick Saban (Alabama), Les Miles (LSU), Bob Stoops (Oklahoma), Dabo Swinney (Clemson), and Lou Holtz (Arkansas).

At just 32 years old, Cosh, the second-youngest head coach in the FBS or FCS, orchestrated a historic turnaround for Stony Brook football in his debut season. Taking over a program that went 0-10 (0-8 CAA) in 2023 and was projected to finish last in the conference for 2024, Cosh led the Seawolves to an 8-4 (5-3 CAA) record. This remarkable improvement marked the team’s first winning season since 2018, its highest national ranking in six years (No. 16), and finishing at No. 24 in the Stats Perform final regular season poll.

Under Cosh’s leadership, the Seawolves experienced a dramatic resurgence on both sides of the ball. Offensively, the team improved from 15.2 points per game in 2023 to 29.6 points per game in 2024. Total offensive yardage jumped from 314.2 to 403.9 yards per game, including a surge in rushing yards from 104.1 to 170.3 and passing yards from 210.1 to 223.6. The team’s touchdown count skyrocketed from 19 in 2023 to 44 in 2024. The defense also saw substantial improvements, limiting opponents to 24.0 points per game compared to 39.2 the previous year. Total yards allowed dropped from 470.7 to 373.5 per game, and the Seawolves reduced touchdowns allowed from 53 to 32.

Cosh’s leadership not only transformed the program but also propelled several players into the national spotlight. Running back Roland Dempster earned a nomination for the Walter Payton Award, becoming just the second player in program history to receive the honor. Dempster also secured First Team All-CAA recognition and four All-American honors. Defensive lineman Rushawn Lawrence garnered First Team All-CAA honors and two All-American awards, while freshman standout Sebastian Regis was named to the Freshman All-American team.

Additional postseason honors went to tight end Cal Redman, kicker Enda Kirby, and cornerback Rudy Silvera, who were named to the All-CAA Second Team. Offensive linemen Niko Papic and AJ Roberts earned spots on the All-CAA Third Team, while Anthony Ferrelli and Cole Bunicci were recognized on the Phil Steele CAA All-Conference team.

Stony Brook men’s basketball dropped its conference opener on the road at Monmouth, 76-58. The Seawolves were paced offensively by Joe Octave’s team-high 15 points.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • The two sides played a tight first half for the most part before Monmouth opened up a double-digit lead in the closing moments.
  • Stony Brook led on two separate occasions early on, 5-3 and 7-2. The Hawks regained the lead and never relinquished it from that point on.
  • The Seawolves kept Monmouth’s leading scorer, Abdi Bashir Jr., in check for the first 14 minutes of action, but back-to-back triples by Bashir gave the Hawks their largest lead of the evening, 28-19, with 5:23 to play in the first half.
  • An Octave three pointer followed by an Andre Snoddy basket trimmed the deficit to four points, but Monmouth scored nine of the final 10 first-half points over the final four minutes to take a 12-point lead into the break.
  • The Seawolves faced a double-digit deficit for the remainder of the game. CJ Luster II scored the opening basket of the second half to make it a 10-point game, but the Hawks widened the gap from there on out.
  • Bashir took over offensively, scoring four straight baskets (three from beyond the arc), to pad Monmouth’s lead to 17 points with just under 11 minutes to play.
  • A late 9-0 run by the Hawks made it a 27-point game before Stony Brook chipped away in the final moments, ultimately falling 78-56.

“Bashir showed why he is a Player of the Year candidate. We had zero answer for him. Monmouth was undefeated last year at home and have won the only two at home they’ve played this year. We have a tough game Saturday with William & Mary coming off of a 25-point win at Hofstra tonight. We have to find a way to shoot the basketball better,” head coach Geno Ford said. “To only have eight turnovers and not be able to score more than 55 points is a real concern. We will need to be much better on Saturday afternoon.”

Up next, the team welcomes William & Mary to Long Island for the conference home opener on Saturday, January 4. The Seawolves and Tribe tip-off at noon from Stony Brook Arena, with the contest airing live on SNY and streaming on FloCollege.
