Stony Brook, N.Y. - After completing physicals and meeting with athletic department staff, Stony Brook's football team opens preseason practice on Monday afternoon. Starting with tomorrow's 3:30 practice, head coach Chuck Priore and his staff will guide the Seawolves through 26 total practices over 18 days.

Junior Edwin Gowins (Bellport, N.Y.) and senior Paul Fenaroli (Monroe, Conn.) were each named to the preseason All-Big South team as Stony Brook was picked to finish second in the conference. Adding to the excitement of the 2010 season is the opportunity of an automatic bid to the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoffs. 2010 marks the first season the Big South will send its conference champion to the postseason.

All practices are open to the public. Stony Brook opens the season at South Florida on September 4.
