Stony Brook has an incredibly high powered offense and could cause nightmares for UMBC with their goalie situation. But nobody really knows what UMBC has yet. Their record may be a product of their schedule, four straight top 10 teams. But the fact is they are 1-5 and have not played very well. This game is the conference opener for both teams and UMBC may need the win more just to get confidence back in them.
