STONY BROOK, N.Y. – Following their overtime thrilling victory over Bryant on Saturday, the Stony Brook football team earned the No. 17 spot in the FCS Stats Perform Top-25 Poll and No. 18 ranking in the AFCA Coaches Top-25 Poll as announced by both organizations this morning. 

The No. 17 spot for Stony Brook is the highest they've been ranked in either poll since the squad came in at No. 17 on Oct. 15, 2018. The Seawolves have received votes in the Stats Perform Top-25 Poll for the last eight weeks and the previous nine weeks from the AFCA organization.
