Seawolves Put Together a Total Team Effort to Take Down No. 11 Delaware


STONY BROOK, N.Y. – It might have been the 400 yards of total offense or it could have been the relentless pursuit of the football by the defense, but both of these led to the 12th-ranked Stony Brook football team's 17-3 victory over No. 11 Delaware on Saturday afternoon at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium. The Seawolves (7-3, 5-2 CAA Football) were led on offense by senior RB Donald Liotine's (Medford, N.Y.) 170 rushing yards that included a 33-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that helped seal the victory over the Blue Hens (7-3, 5-2 CAA Football).

Defensively, senior LB Noah McGinty (Carlsbad, Calif.) had nine total tackles with 2.0 tackles for a loss. SCORING

QUOTING THE SEAWOLVES Head Coach Chuck Priore "This was a good program win. We had a bitter taste in our mouths for two weeks after the loss at JMU. The kids handled the two weeks correctly. Our coaches did a phenomenal job preparing our kids for this game. Our kids played with a great focus and the one thing I asked them to do was to have fun. I think they had fun out there. At the end of the day they didn't allow anything to bother them. They just went out and played football." NOTES
