While Stony Brook is coming off a 2-9 2022 finish, its worst in 24 Division I seasons, the Sea Wolves have been bolstered by more than a dozen Division I transfers. They also have a new offensive coordinator in Andrew Dresner, who moved from a similar post at CAA member Maine, and defensive coordinator in Matt Hachmann. He was elevated after Bryan Collins died suddenly in July.
Since joining what was then the Yankee Conference in 1986, Delaware has played a league game in the season opener 14 times and won 10. Six of those games have been on the road, with Delaware prevailing in four, most recently 34-24 at Maine in the fall of 2021.
