Projection: need to automatically qualify

Stony Brook’s body of work is built around a handful of mixed-signals: an impressive on-the-road victory at Loyola Marymount and a competitive outing at Yale show the team can win away from home, but a lopsided neutral-site loss to Pacific and otherwise modest nonconference scalps undercut that case. Most of the tangible wins have come against lower-tier opponents such as Maine, Brown and Bethune-Cookman, and the remaining stretch includes several true road tests at William & Mary, Hofstra, Towson and Northeastern that will define the resume. Upcoming chances at Duquesne and at home against Columbia and Central Michigan are clear opportunities to add a meaningful win, yet without another road or neutral triumph the profile reads as solid against conference peers but short on the kind of signature victories that erase the damage from that Pacific setback.
