Leading by as much as 18, the Stony Brook men’s basketball team earned its fourth win in five tries on Dec. 11, knocking off NEC foe Bryant 86-78 in front of 1,930 fans at Island Federal Arena. 

Anthony Roberts led five Seawolves in double figures with 20 points on 6-for-14 shooting, including hitting a trio of triples. Tykei Greene was one off the Roberts team-high, sitting with 19 points on 6-for-8 shooting. He finished with the same ratio at the free throw line.

After Bryant cut the lead to six with 8:57 left, the Seawolves rattled off a 16-4 run to build its largest lead at 18 with 3:41 to go in the half. The hosts made six of their eight shots during that span, including two of its three attempts from 3-point land and were able to force four Bryant turnovers.

In the second half, the Seawolves survived multiple attempts at a Bryant comeback, as the visitors brought the Stony Brook lead to three on multiple occasions but were never able to bring it even. Stony Brook used an 8-0 spurt over 88 seconds to extend its lead back to double digits at the midway mark of the half and held the distance the rest of the way.

“It was a really tough ball game. Bryant plays super fast, they race it down your throat, they play really hard… it’s a very good program. Our prep wasn’t great going into it with some of the same issues but give Bryant a bunch of credit with the guys they lost. They hung around the whole time and had a chance to steal the game. Great job for them and it was a great win for us,” said head coach Geno Ford.

“Every game is hard. Even when we have a lead, someone can cut it so we are showing we can be mentally tough and pull through these close, tough games and that’s definitely a positive going forward. Getting back in transition tonight was key for us because that was one thing that never stopped and I think we did a good job,” said Roberts.

The Stony Brook University women’s basketball team (7-1) battled tough, but fell to Fordham (5-3), 71-59, on Dec. 2 at Rose Hill Gym. The result marked the end of the Seawolves’ seven-game winning streak to start the 2021-22 season.

Stony Brook received a career-high offensive performance from senior guard Earlette Scott as she paced the scoring attack. The Brooklyn, N.Y. native finished the game with a career-high 24 points on 10-of-16 shooting from the field. Scott was the driving force on offense for the Seawolves as she recorded her first 20-plus point performance of her Stony Brook career.

The two-point deficit was the closest that Stony Brook was able to get Fordham’s lead down to as the Rams closed out the third quarter on a 15-5 run to take a 54-42 lead into the fourth quarter.

STATS AND NOTES

  • Scott poured in a career-high 24 points on 10-of-16 shooting from the field. The 10 made field goals and 16 field goal attempts were both career-high for the guard. In addition, she shot 2-of-3 from three-point range and a perfect 2-of-2 from the free-throw line. Scott pulled down five rebounds and dished out two assists in 31 minutes of play.
  • Junior guard Gigi Gonzalez scored in double figures for the sixth time this season and has done so in three consecutive games. The guard scored 14 points on 5-of-12 shooting from the floor and went 4-of-5 from the free-throw line.
  • Wool added nine points on 3-of-8 shooting and three rebounds in 27 minutes. Senior forward Nairimar Vargas-Reyes added two points and a team-high seven rebounds in 28 minutes off the bench.
  • Graduate forward McKenzie Bushee finished the game with six points and six rebound in her second-straight start.
  • Freshman guard Erin Turral made her collegiate debut and chipped in four points in 15 minutes off the bench.

QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
“Fordham is a good team and DeWolfe was hard to guard tonight. Without key players, we were still in position to win the game and that’s a positive. We will use tonight’s game as a learning lesson and fuel to continue to get better,” said head coach Ashley Langford.

NEXT UP
Stony Brook is back inside Island Federal Arena when it hosts Marist on Tuesday, December 7, at 7 p.m. The game is set to air on SNY and ESPN+ with Sam Neidermann (play-by-play) and Rob Pavinelli (analyst) on the call. Be sure to purchase your tickets now to be a part of the action!

The Stony Brook University men’s cross-country team registered a fourth-place finish at the ECAC Cross Country Championships on Saturday, Nov. 20. Colin Ross (pictured above) led the way placing second with Carlos Santos following closely behind in third place.

Ross and Santos were joined in the top 50 by teammates Nick Cipolla, Timothy Weber, Ryan Dearie, and Eric Shu, aiding the Seawolves to a top five men’s finish.

Ross took second as he crossed the finish line in 25:23. He ran at an average 1K pace of 3:11. Santos placed third as he crossed the finish line closely behind Ross in 25:24 and ran the same average 1K pace of 3:11. Cipolla secured a top 25 finish by placing 20th as he clocked a time of 26:05. Weber, Dearie, and Shu all finished the race in the top 50. Weber finished in 36th with a time of 26:34. Dearie took 40th with his time of 26:41 and Shu crossed the line in 26:53 to take 49th place.

“Today for the most part was a worthwhile exercise as we nearly came with away with 2 individual titles. Fiona and Colin fell just short of the win. The team’s performances were solid. We mainly competed on the men’s side to give the guys that didn’t compete at the conference and regional meets plus the freshmen one more run over the 8k distance go gain experience for next fall,” said  head coach Andrew Ronan.

The Stony Brook women’s basketball team continued its red-hot start to the Ashley Langford era, holding off Iona on the road to earn a 53-46 win at the Hynes Athletics Center on Nov. 20.

Leighah-Amori Wool and Earlette Scott led the way, with the two combining for 31 points and six of Stony Brook’s seven triples on the afternoon. 

India Pagan finished one point short of a double-double, hauling in a game-high 11 rebounds to go along with nine points. 

The Seawolves’ lead was cut to one with 1:56 to go, but they were able to hold Iona off the board the rest of the way, scoring the game’s final six points to make sure the fifth-straight victory was secured.

Head Coach Ashley Langford has now taken the Seawolves to 5-0 in her first five games at the helm. She improves her record as the first head coach in Stony Brook women’s basketball history to begin her career at 5-0, and has the team tying their best start to a season since 2017-18 when the team also began 5-0.

The Seawolves have held their last two opponents to under 50 points scored. 

Wool led the way with 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including going 3-of-4 from deep including a three-pointer with 14 seconds left to hold off Iona’s comeback. She also pulled down five boards.

Pagan finished just shy of a double-double with nine points and 11 rebounds, and moved into 13th-place on the all-time scoring list with 1,148 points scored, passing Janet Travis (1,144). Pagan is also now 12 rebounds away from tying Brittany Snow for ninth-place in career rebounds.

Scott finished second on the team with 15 points on 4-of-10 shooting, going 3-of-5 from beyond the arc, and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line. She pulled down five rebounds, dished out two assists, and added three blocks.

Senior guard Annie Warren helped facilitate the offense, scoring seven points, put up a team-high three assists, while also grabbing five rebounds in a team-high 37 minutes on the court. Warren is eight made three-pointers away from tying Theresa LoParrino for eighth all-time. Sophomore forward Kelis Corey put in work down low, grabbing eight rebounds in 20 minutes of play.

“We had a good test today. Iona was physical, resilient, and executed their game plan well. I am proud of our team’s defensive effort – it won us the game.  I’m also very pleased with our ability to remain poised during the fourth quarter to get a road win,” said head coach Ashley Langford. 

“I thought Leighah and E-Scotty made huge offensive plays in the fourth quarter when we needed it. India and Kelis were active on the glass and we needed every extra possession we could get. Annie and Gigi struggled shooting today, but both continued to be solid defensively and Gigi made great decisions during the last two minutes of the game. Again, I am proud that we had a collective effort from everyone and players are stepping up when necessary,” she said.

The team played one more game before the Thanksgiving holiday, taking on Columbia at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 24 afternoon in New York City. Results were not available as of press time.

The Stony Brook University women’s basketball team (3-0) had not defeated a current Big East member since Dec. 7, 2004, that changed on Nov. 14 as it toppled St. John’s (1-1), 72-60, to improve to (3-0) on the young season. With the win, head coach Ashley Langford became the first Stony Brook head coach in program history to start their career with a (3-0) record.

The Seawolves and Red Storm played an all but even first quarter as St. John’s led, 21-20, after the first 10 minutes of play. Stony Brook took full control of the game in the second quarter as it outscored St. John’s, 20-8, in the stanza. The Seawolves used a 9-0 run early in the second quarter to create separation.

Stony Brook took a 40-29 lead into the halftime break as it was firing on all cylinders. The Seawolves were locked in on the defensive end as they limited St. John’s to 29.7 percent shooting from the field and 18.2 percent shooting from three in the first half. In the second quarter, Stony Brook held the Red Storm to 19.0 percent shooting from the floor and did not allow a three-pointer (0-of-6) in the frame.

The Seawolves carried that first half momentum into the third quarter as they added to their lead through the duration of the stanza. Stony Brook went on to outscore St. John’s, 19-17, in the third quarter as it took a 59-46 lead into the fourth. The Seawolves’ lead grew to as large as 21 points, 72-51, with 4:18 to play in the game.

Stony Brook used a balanced scoring attack to knock off St. John’s as it had six student-athletes score eight or more points in the contest. Senior guard Anastasia Warren led the way with 19 points as the Seawolves went on to close out the Red Storm by the final score of 72-60.

“We came out ready to play today. I really got on them about transition defense and that was the key to the game – really keeping St. John’s from fast break points and we did that. I told them from the beginning defense is going to win us games. I’m really happy with the intensity that we came out with and it was a collective group effort, it wasn’t just one person. Everyone’s stepping up; we got some people in foul trouble that couldn’t play in the first quarter, and our bench was ready to go,” said coach Ashley Langford.

“Everybody’s contributing and I know that makes them feel good, everyone’s got their back, and everyone’s ready to go. I am really pleased with our effort and happy with our team that we were able to realize this win because they deserve it,” she said.

Sophomore middle blocker Abby Campbell and freshman middle blocker Erin Garr combined for 22 kills as they helped lead the women’s volleyball team to a sweep over NJIT on Nov. 7. With the win, Stony Brook improves to (13-12, 7-4 America East) with one match to go before the America East Tournament.

Campbell and Garr had it going all day for the Seawolves as each notched a hitting percentage of over .500 in the sweep. Campbell accounted for three of her kills in the first set as Stony Brook was in control of the frame from the very beginning. The Seawolves received five kills from sophomore outside hitter Leoni Kunz en route to a 25-13 first set victory.

Stony Brook kept the momentum going in the second set as it held off NJIT who battled its way through the frame. Garr had her way with the opposition as she tallied six of her 10 kills in the second set. Campbell provided a steady offensive presence from the middle as she notched three kills in the set. The Highlanders put up a fight, but the Seawolves pulled away with a 25-22 win to go up 2-0 in the match.

The Seawolves began the third set on a 6-0 run as they led wire-to-wire in the frame on their way to the sweep. Stony Brook took the third set by the final set score of 25-13 and received six kills from Campbell in the set. 

STATS AND NOTES

Campbell finished with a match-high 12 kills on .556 hitting from the middle. The sophomore also tallied three blocks in the win. It was the sixth time this season that Campbell totaled 10 or more kills in a match. The 12 kills were her most since she recorded a season-best 18 against Wofford on August 27.

Garr registered 10 kills and a hitting percentage of .526. It was the third time this season that she notched 10 or more kills in a match and the first time since she had 11 kills against Akron on September 18.  

Sophomore setter Torri Henry paced the Seawolves’ offensive attack as she tallied a match-high 29 assists. Henry also added six digs, three blocks, and two kills in the win.

Graduate libero Kiani Kerstetter picked up a match-high 17 digs as the Seawolves’ defense held NJIT to .095 hitting.

Redshirt junior middle block Nia Wattley recorded a season-high seven kills and hit .294 as she earned the start for Stony Brook. Wattley also added a pair of blocks in the match.

Senior outside hitter Hailey Barden picked up nine digs coming off the bench for Stony Brook.

—————————–

“It was good to come in today and execute at a high-level. I thought our defensive effort really locked in and put us in good situations. Overall, we were able to score thanks to being in system and giving our attackers some additional court to work with. This was an important match for us to come in focused and ready to roll and I am proud of our team for doing that,” said head coach Kristin Belzung.

The team returns to Pritchard Gymnasium for senior day on Nov. 12, when it hosts UMBC at 6 p.m. The match is free to attend and open to the public.

The Stony Brook University football team (4-5, 3-3 CAA) used a gritty road performance to pick up its third consecutive win as it defeated Maine (4-5, 3-4 CAA), 22-17, on Nov. 6. The Seawolves were paced by an all-around team effort as they picked up their first CAA road victory of the season.

Redshirt junior running back Ty Son Lawton and redshirt sophomore kicker Angelo Guglielmello accounted for all of Stony Brook’s scoring in the win. Lawton found the end zone twice (one rushing touchdown, one receiving touchdown), while Guglielmello made a career-high three field goals.

As Maine fought back in the second half, Stony Brook’s defense stood strong as it shut down the come-from-behind effort. The Black Bears got the ball back with 2:30 to play in the game and had a chance to potentially take the lead. On the first play of the drive, redshirt freshman linebacker Tyler King stepped in front of a Derek Robertson pass for his first career interception. King’s interception sealed the victory for the Seawolves.

The Seawolves used a strong first half performance to take a 16-7 lead at the break. Stony Brook controlled the pace of play and dominated in total offense and time of possession. The Seawolves outgained the Black Bears 250 yards to 89 yards and held the ball for 21:57, while Maine had the ball for 8:03 in the first half.

Redshirt sophomore kicker Angelo Guglielmello was a perfect 3-for-3 on field goal attempts in the first half. The Nutley, N.J. native opened the scoring for Stony Brook as he drilled a career-long 38-yard field goal with 8:47 to play in the first quarter. He then split the uprights with a 37-yard field goal to put Stony Brook up, 6-0, with 1:36 to go in the first quarter. Guglielmello’s third field goal in the first half came from 30 yards out and pushed the Seawolves’ lead to 16-0.

Lawton found the end zone twice in the win, once on the ground, and the other came on a catch. The redshirt junior extended the Seawolves’ first half lead to 13-0 on a nine-yard touchdown run. Lawton took a handoff and rushed right where he was met by a crowd of Black Bear defenders; he reversed field and saw nothing but green as he rushed into the end zone for the ninth time this season.

The Staten Island native scored his second touchdown of the day with 10:47 to play in the fourth quarter. Graduate quarterback Tyquell Fields found Lawton coming out of the backfield for a nine-yard touchdown reception.

“We lost three league games with the ball in our hands on fourth down in position to score, two of them to win, the other to continue the game. Our guys kept on fighting and believing. We weren’t getting turnovers; we got them (today) – obviously Tyler’s interception makes a difference in the last drive when they got the ball back. Good character guys, good senior leadership. It proves to you that the margin of winning and losing is very close,” said head coach Chuck Priore.

Up next, the team is back on the gridiron on Nov. 13, when they travel to nationally ranked Villanova for a 1 p.m. kick-off. The Seawolves are (2-1) against the Wildcats over their last three meetings and picked up a win in their last contest at Villanova, 36-35, on October 26, 2019. The game is set to air on FloFootball.
