Maine scored seven of the game's first nine points but the Seawolves (7-22) took control from there, going on an 18-4 run to take a 20-11 lead just over eight minutes into the contest. After missing seven of its first 10 shots, the Seawolves knocked down nine of their next 14 attempts.
A three from Landers with the shot clock winding down gave SBU a 27-15 advantage but the Black Bears then went on an 8-2 run to cut the Stony Brook lead to 29-23. Junior Tamiel Murray (Teaneck, N.J.) ended the run with a floater in the lane though as Stony Brook capped the half on a 12-3 run to head into the break with a 41-26.
Stony Brook picked up right where they left off at the beginning of second half, opening on a 15-3 run to take a 56-29 lead. The Seawolves held Maine without a field goal for nearly five minutes to start the half.
The Seawolves lead would grow to as much as 33 on three straight triples from sophomore Dani Klupenger (Aurora, Ore.) with just under over five minutes to go. Stony Brook coasted from there on its way to its third victory over the Black Bears this season.
