Box Score

Stony Brook, N.Y.-  Stony Brook connected on a season high 14 treys, led by Elijah Olaniyi's career high 30 points and six treys, to get past Brown, 79-63, Saturday evening at Island Federal Arena.

The game was decided at the 3-point line with the Seawolves connecting on 14-of-25 treys overall, while Brown converted 7-of-26 treys.

"Defensively, we didn't do a good enough job contesting their shooters on the perimeter and offensively, we weren't as good as we needed to be with our execution," said Brown head coach Mike Martin. "They deserve a lot of credit for both of those issues, but we need to be better."

Stony Brook converted 28-of-53 field goals overall (53-percent), and Brown hit 23-of-63 field goals (37-percent)
