Stony Brook: Getting Back Their Chip

Known for their uptempo, creative offensive play, the Seawolves have scored almost thrice their opponents with 365 goals — which has a lot to do with their significant sharing on offense, proven in their 231 assists. But what has made Stony Brook such a force this season is their ability to balance out both ends of the field, pushing the boundaries on offense while remaining airtight on defense and being able to shut off opponents. That’s how they’ve managed to only allow four teams to score 10 or more goals on them in a matchup, and that’s how they’ve stayed at No. 1 in the country for a majority of the season.

Spallina says what makes this group of seniors so special is their belief in the program. “These seniors came to Stony Brook when we were nobody. They committed to Stony Brook when we were a vision and they’ve stayed the course and built something that is really special,” says Spallina.

And despite the decision, he thinks their seeding has had a positive impact on the team and has given them the chance to refocus on themselves. “I think it was the closest to us suffering a loss without losing a game, so it allowed us to get that little chip on our shoulder back,” explains Spallina. He says the team has had their best practices of the year since the selection draw, which has just added more fuel to their already intense fire. They’re in a great position now, they’re the “underdog” and everybody loves the chance at their own Cinderella story.

to me, there simply is not a better way to handle this situation than the way joe is.  bravo.
