Winning is just a little bit easier when you make eight more threes than your opponent, a fact Stony Brook proved on Saturday. Everything went their way against the Fightin' Blue Hens as the Seawolves made off with a 79-56 win. The oddsmakers were on Stony Brook's side, but they didn't give the squad enough credit as the margin was unexpectedly wide.
Stony Brook can attribute much of their success to Aaron Clarke, who scored 19 points, and Tyler Stephenson-Moore, who scored 18 points along with eight rebounds and three blocks.
Meanwhile, the Huskies couldn't handle the Dragons on Saturday and fell 73-59. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Northeastern in their matchups with Drexel: they've now lost six in a row.

Stony Brook didn't have too much breathing room in their match against Northeastern in their previous matchup back in February, but they still walked away with a 59-55 win.
