Last Time Out
History was made at LaValle Stadium on last Saturday night as the Stony Brook football team earned a 31-6 victory over 13th-ranked New Hampshire in the CAA Football opener. The win marked the first for the Seawolves over the Wildcats and UNH was the highest ranked opponent SBU has ever defeated. RB Stacey Bedell and WR Ray Bolden led the offense, while DE Victor Ochi was the catalyst on the defensive side of the ball. Bedell rattled off 193 yards rushing on 21 carries, including two 50-plus yard runs in the second half and one touchdown. Bolden pulled down seven catches for 102 yards and two scores. Ochi collected a game-best 11 tackles, including 3.5 sacks.

Opponent
William & Mary, ranked 25th in the coaches’ poll and is just out of the top 25 in the STATS poll, is 1-1 this young season with a season-opening win at Lafayette followed by a narrow loss to FBS foe Virginia last weekend. The Tribe will be making their first apperance in the friendly confines of Zable Stadium this week. W&M is led by QB Steve Cluley’s five touchdown passes and RB Mikal Abdul-Saboor’s two rushing scores.

This will be the second meeting between the two CAA Football foes. William & Mary claimed the only other meeting, 27-21, in overtime on Sept. 27 of last season in Stony Brook.
