The Seawolves competed as third year members of the Colonial Athletic Association with Chuck Priore as the head coach for his tenth season.

They played their home games at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium in Stony Brook, New York.

The Rockets wanted to finish the game the next day, but this would have forced Stony Brook to miss its chartered flight and take an 11-hour bus ride back to Long Island.

Stony Brook officials felt this was an unacceptable risk to their players' safety.

There was no room in the schedule to finish the game, and it was officially declared "no contest."
