Seawolves will appear on TV at Villanova and James Madison...CAA Football Unveils 2013 Slate for NBC Sports Regional Networks


Richmond, Va. - In conjunction with CAA Football, the conference announced Monday that two Stony Brook games will be televised live as part of the league's television package. Both games will be televised live on one of the NBC Sports regional networks.
Week four will feature a rematch of last year's playoff contest between Stony Brook and Villanova on September 14. The Seawolves defeated the Wildcats, 20-10, at LaValle Stadium, reaching the second round of the Division I Football Championship for a second straight year.
Stony Brook also will head to James Madison for a late-afternoon showdown against the Dukes on November 16.
The final week of the regular season is Rivalry Week. Stony Brook-Albany, scheduled for November 23, could be picked up for broadcast.
The Seawolves, ranked No. 11 in the preseason by the Sports Network, are one of six CAA Football teams ranked in the top 25. Villanova is 15 and James Madison 19.
Stony Brook's game at Buffalo will be televised live on ESPN3 at 3:30 p.m. 



RICHMOND, Va. – The 2013 CAA Football television schedule was further enhanced on Monday when it was announced that an exciting slate of 13 games are set to air this season on NBC Sports Regional Networks, including Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic, Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia and Comcast SportsNet New England.
The schedule kicks off on Sept. 14 when league newcomer UAlbany welcomes Rhode Island to the Capital Region at 7 p.m. for its first-ever game at the new Bob Ford Field.
The NBC Sports Regional Networks will serve up a doubleheader the following two Saturdays.

New Hampshire faces Towson at Noon on Oct. 5 for another highly anticipated contest given the two programs’ recent marathon matchups. The Blue Hens and Great Danes both make their second regionally televised appearance the following week when they meet for a matinee at Delaware Stadium.
A pair of potent offenses will be on display in Durham on Oct. 19, as UNH looks to continue its winning ways at Cowell Stadium when it hosts Villanova at Noon. Another matinee follows a week later when Towson travels to Richmond.
November opens with Homecoming in Harrisonburg on Nov. 2, as JMU welcomes Villanova to campus for a 2:30 p.m. kick.

The CAA Football regular season comes to a close with Rivalry Week on Nov. 23. That contest is set for selection 12-14 days prior to gameday.
In addition to Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic, Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia and Comcast SportsNet New England, other NBC Sports Regional Networks will televise select match-ups from the package. Complete schedules will be announced at a later date.
