Cambridge, Mass. - Stony Brook University's Department of Athletics maintained its second-place standing in the 2009-10 Stuart P. Haskell Jr. Commissioner's Cup following a successful winter season. Stony Brook added 100 points to its total to move to 217 on the year and trails Boston University by just 24 points.

The Seawolves received their highest point total of the season by claiming the first-ever America East regular season title in men's basketball.
