Lovell, Soivilien and Meadows Named Team Captains
Stony Brook, N.Y. - It begins on Monday; it being the countdown to the 2008 football season for the Stony Brook University Seawolves. After gathering today on campus for physicals and team meetings, head coach Chuck Priore and his staff will guide the team through its first practice on Monday at 4:30 in LaValle Stadium. Priore has also announced the team captains for 2008 - senior Lawrence Lovell (Brooklyn, N.Y.) for the offense, senior Adam Soivilien (Dorchester, Mass.) for the defense and senior Michael Meadows (Shrub Oak, N.Y.) for special teams.
Monday's workout begins a series of 27 practices and a pair of scrimmages over the next four weeks as Stony Brook prepares for the season opener against Colgate on August 30 at 6:00 p.m. in LaValle Stadium. This will be the fourth straight year that the Seawolves have opened their season at home, with the game also marking the first meeting between Stony Brook and Colgate, the 2003 national FCS runner-up. The 2008 season also marks another first for the Stony Brook football team, its first season as a member of the Big South Conference. The Seawolves will begin a full schedule of Big South games later in the season when it opens conference play at Liberty on October 11.
Stony Brook will practice once each day next week leading up to the first workout in full pads on Friday. The Seawolves will have their first two-practice day on Saturday, with the first of two scrimmages scheduled for Friday, August 15 at 3:30. A complete schedule for fall camp practices is listed below.
During the course of fall camp a position-by-position look at the Stony Brook football squad will be posted on the official Stony Brook Athletics website, www.goseawolves.org, beginning with the running backs later this week.
