Soccer is a growing sport in America, with Major League Soccer (MLS) on track to overtake other sports. Long Island is culturally diverse region, with people from different backgrounds, many of them soccer fans. It would only make sense for Long Island to have their own MLS team to call their own. 

The Stony Brook men’s soccer team played their third game of the America East season against the No. 17 New Hampshire Wildcats on a cold and windy afternoon at home on Friday, March 19. In a very entertaining match, the Seawolves could not get their offense going, losing the game 2-1.
