Boals' Reaction
"All year long this crowd has been phenomenal. This entire community, the students, band and cheer, it was a phenomenal atmosphere to send two seniors out the right way in our last regular season game here," said head coach
Jeff Boals. "I really liked that we got out to a great start in both halves. We didn't want to give them any confidence. I was really proud of our balance and depth tonight. That type of balance where no one cares who scores, as long as Stony Brook scores, you are going to win a lot of games doing that.
Highlights
- The Seawolves came out with a lot of energy and senior Kameron Mitchell (Jacksonville, Fla.) gave them a spark with an early steal and wide-open dunk in transition.
- Junior UC Iroegbu (Sacramento, Calif.) checked in and knocked down back-to-back threes to keep the lead in Stony Brook's favor nearing the midway point in the half.
- Senior Lucas Woodhouse (Greenlawn, N.Y.) sent up a pass to junior Junior Saintel (Mays Landing, N.J.) who threw down his 23rd dunk of the season and capped off an 11-2 run for the Seawolves that put them up double figures.
- Stony Brook continued to push and took a 14-point lead into the break.
- The Seawolves opened the second half on a 14-2 run and never looked back, leading by more than 20 points for the majority of the second half.
