Here are five key things to know about the Seawolves in 2026.

1. A battle-tested schedule has shaped their résumé

Stony Brook hasn’t taken the easy route. The Seawolves opened the year against top-tier competition, including a matchup with No. 4 Northwestern and early tests against ranked opponents like Colorado and Denver. While they dropped a tight contest to Northwestern, they responded with statement wins—most notably an overtime victory against No. 19 Denver and a later triumph over Princeton during a six-game winning streak. That willingness to schedule—and beat—ranked teams has helped solidify their national standing and strong RPI positioning heading into the postseason.

2. Braeden Siverson is rewriting the record book

Defensively, Braeden Siverson has emerged as one of the most impactful players in the country. She recently earned CAA Defensive Player of the Week honors after a historic outing in which she set a new single-game program record for draw controls. Her ability to dominate possession has been a game-changer for Stony Brook, consistently giving the Seawolves extra opportunities on the offensive end. Siverson’s performances aren’t just impressive—they’re redefining what’s possible in the draw circle for the program.

3. Offensive milestones highlight a balanced attack

The Seawolves’ offense isn’t reliant on just one star, but it still features standout individual achievements. Camryn Caporuscio recently reached the 100-goal mark for her career, underscoring both her consistency and finishing ability. Milestones like that reflect a broader offensive balance, with multiple players capable of stepping up in key moments. This depth makes Stony Brook difficult to defend, as opponents can’t key in on a single scorer.

4. Joe Spallina’s leadership continues to drive excellence

Head coach Joe Spallina remains the architect of Stony Brook’s sustained success. Earlier this season, he reached a major milestone with his 300th career victory, further cementing his legacy as one of the sport’s top coaches. Under his guidance, the Seawolves have built a culture defined by discipline, toughness, and consistency. Even in tightly contested games against elite competition, Stony Brook looks composed and prepared—traits that reflect Spallina’s long-standing influence on the program.

5. Momentum is building at the right time

As the regular season has progressed, Stony Brook has found its rhythm. A midseason surge—including a six-game winning streak capped by a ranked win over Princeton—demonstrated the team’s ability to string together complete performances on both ends of the field. With strong conference play in the CAA and favorable positioning in national rankings, the Seawolves are peaking at the right time. Their combination of experience, depth, and confidence makes them a legitimate contender as the postseason approaches.

In a season defined by tough competition and standout performances, No. 6 Stony Brook has proven it belongs among the nation’s best. With record breakers, milestone moments, and a proven head coach leading the way, the Seawolves are once again a team to watch in the championship race.
