The Seawolves ended the game with 423 yards of offense. Quarterback Chris Zellous was 13-for-22 on pass completion with 103 yards. Zellous also had one rushing touchdown for Stony Brook. Roland Dempster was a leading rusher for the Seawolves with 92 yards on 19 carries and one rushing touchdown. 

With the victory, the Hawks move to 6-1 on the season and 3-0 in CAA play. Monmouth will head on the road to take on Hampton on Oct. 25.
