Fans, students, alumni and families anxiously awaited the opening kickoff. The moment redshirt-senior kicker Nick Courtney’s cleat made contact with the ball, the Stony Brook football season began.
Stony Brook Football’s 28-21 overtime victory over Albany at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium on Saturday was closer than it should have been, but that didn’t get Seawolves junior quarterback Joe Carbone down.
The victory improved the Stony Brook Football’s record to 7-2 as they recaptured The Golden Apple Trophy in the fifth annual “Empire Clash” between the two instate and conference rivals.
