Stony Brook is one of four schools in the nation up until this point to begin the 2021-22 season with a 6-0 record. The Seawolves are joined by Maryland, Rhode Island, and South Carolina as the only 6-0 teams in the nation.
There was no shortage of offense in New York City on Thanksgiving Eve as Stony Brook erupted for a season-high 91 points. The 91 points are the most that the Seawolves have scored in a game since they scored 96 points on February 24, 2007, against Vermont. The 91 points are the second-most that Stony Brook has scored in a single-game in its Division I era.
It marked the second time this season that the Seawolves had five student-athletes finish a game in double figures. Stony Brook also had five score in double-digits in the season opener against Delaware State on November 9. Junior guard Gigi Gonzalez led the way with a career-high 21 points as she did a bulk of her damage from the free-throw line by converting 14-of-16 attempts.
We love a friendly roll 😎

"I was really pleased and proud with our performance today. We found a way, our whole thing has been defense, but today we didn't really defend as well as I would've liked to, but we found a way to still get a 'W'. To me that's resiliency, that's figuring it out – I am proud of them for doing that. Columbia is a great team, they are a really good offensive team, and hard to guard. We got key stops when we needed to and people stepped up. We are a collective team and that's what makes us good and that's what makes us challenging – we had five players in double-digits. It's a team effort, it's not just one person that people can key on. I've been on them about the glass and we got 16 offensive rebounds today, so I am really happy about that," said head coach Ashley Langford.
"It was a tough game, Columbia is a great team – probably the best team that we have played yet. It's a great win and I am just happy that we got the win. Both teams played really hard and it was a great game collectively," said senior guard Earlette Scott.
