Projection: need to automatically qualify

Stony Brook’s résumé is anchored by a few eye-catching moments, most notably the road victory at Loyola Marymount, the home win over Hofstra and the wild, high-scoring triumph over College of Charleston, but those highlights are offset by damaging setbacks such as a lopsided neutral loss to Pacific and poor road showings at Marist and Drexel that expose a clear vulnerability away from home. The club has shown it can compete with quality opponents, yet the combination of impressive single-game wins and ugly defeats leaves very little margin for error in the eyes of a selection committee. That contrast makes the conference finish the most secure path to the tournament, and the upcoming road tests at Northeastern, Campbell and Elon along with pivotal home and away dates against Monmouth, Northeastern, Drexel, Hampton and Towson are the available chances to flip the resume from risky to résumé-clinching.
