Seawolves Begin Preparation for Season Opener on September 5
Stony Brook, N.Y.
Pads hitting together, footballs being kicked, whistles; all of the sounds of football practice will return to the Stony Brook University campus next week when the Seawolves open preseason camp on Monday to begin the countdown to the 2009 football season. After gathering on campus on Sunday 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.
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 at Hofstra on September 5 at 7:00 p.m. It will be the first time since 1984 that Stony Brook has opened a football season at Hofstra, with that contest being the first-ever varsity game played by SBU. The 2009 season also marks the second year for the Seawolves in the Big South Conference where they finished second in 2008 and were picked to duplicate that finish in the 2009 preseason poll. Stony Brook will open at home in 2009 on September 19 when it hosts Brown, with the first Big South game of the year coming against Presbyterian on October 3 in LaValle Stadium.
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 21 at 3:30 p.m. A complete schedule for fall camp practices is listed below. All practices are open to the public.
