WILLIAMSBURG, VA. – In a game that ended on a 10-second run off of the clock for William & Mary because of an offensive penalty, the Stony Brook football team held off the Tribe for a 21-18 CAA Football victory on Saturday night in Zable Stadium.
 
W&M (2-2, 0-1 CAA Football) was driving deep in Seawolves' (4-1, 3-0 CAA Football) territory, but was unable to even attempt a field goal because of an offensive false start with eight seconds on the clock. Due to the rule, a 10-second run off was assessed and Stony Brook escaped with its fourth straight victory.
 
Junior RB Donald Liotine (Medford, N.Y.) led Stony Brook with a pair of touchdowns, one on the ground and one in the air, while senior RB Stacey Bedell (Mastic Beach, N.Y.) gained 104 yards rushing with one touchdown.

Quoting the Seawolves
Head Coach Chuck Priore
"This was the most interesting ending to a game I've ever had, but it's a W and that is what counts."
 
"We hurt ourselves in the fourth quarter, but I give William & Mary credit. They came back and they kept their poise when we went up 21-0. This gives us a little dose of reality and it is great when you can learn from a win and I think we will learn a lot from this win."
