Stony Brook, N.Y. - The 2006 Stony Brook men's lacrosse schedule will feature seven home games and matchups against six teams that finished in the USILA Top 20 Poll in 2005. The Seawolves will face Virginia, Army, Penn State, Albany, Denver and Hofstra as part of a 14-game regular season slate, head coach Lars Tiffany announced.

The Seawolves begin the 2006 season in Charlottesville, Va. against perennial power Virginia on February 26 one week before the home opener against Harvard on March 4. Three days later, the Seawolves renew acquaintances with Army (Mar. 7) at West Point in a rematch of one of the best games in the nation from a season ago. Following a home game against Siena (Mar. 11), the Seawolves visit the Nittany Lions of Penn State (Mar. 18) before returning to LaValle for a three-game homestand.

The Seawolves will host Rutgers (Mar. 28), Vermont (Apr. 1) and Denver (Apr. 3) before hitting the road to face America East defending champ Albany on April 8. The month of April also features road games at Lehigh (Apr. 12), Binghamton (Apr. 22) and the regular season finale at UMBC on April 29. Stony Brook also plays host to Hartford (Apr. 15) and to local rival Hofstra on April 25.

Stony Brook is coming off a 10-6 season in 2005 and an appearance in the America East title game.
