Wide receivers Shawn Harris Jr. and Tedy Afful both had big days for the Seawolves. Harris Jr. finished the game with three catches for 126 yards and a touchdown, while Afful made four catches for 84 yards and two touchdowns.
 
Joshua Zamot found Harris Jr. for a 73-yard touchdown in the closing minutes of the ball game. Daron Bryden tossed a 34-yard touchdown pass to Afful on the drive prior to Harris Jr.'s touchdown.
 
Wide receivers Khalil Newton and RJ Lamarre each put together strong games. Newton caught four passes for 60 yards, while Lamarre hauled in three passes for 51 yards.

QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"It was pretty cool seeing a bunch of alumni in the stands and obviously the kids that played this past season who had the chance to lead this team. It's always a great connection, really feels good to see them smile. You want them to smile when they leave and be successful – I think Stony Brook in general provides them with that experience," said head coach Chuck Priore.
