TOWSON, Md. – Sophomore linebacker Jordan Mynatt became the first Towson football player in the Rob Ambrose era (2009-pres.) to record a sack, a forced fumble and an interception in the same game. However, it wasn't enough, as Stony Brook held the Tigers out of the end zone and escaped Johnny Unitas® Stadium with a 14-3 win on Saturday afternoon.

Towson, which forced a season-high three turnovers, dropped its second straight contest to fall to 2-4 overall and 0-2 in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). Stony Brook, which fell 27-21 in overtime against William & Mary last week, improves to 2-4 overall and 1-1 in league play.

Stony Brook took advantage of a Towson red zone turnover in the first quarter as Davonte Anderson intercepted a pass at the one-yard line and returned it 52 yards. The Seawolves made the Tigers pay by marching 47 yards on 11 plays and scoring the lone touchdown of the opening half on a Stacey Bedell plunge from one yard out.
 
Towson appeared to get the equalizer in the second quarter on a Darius Victor run, but an illegal formation penalty forced the Tigers to settle for a 26-yard Sam Hurwitz field goal. Stony Brook would lead 7-3 at the intermission.
 
The second half started with seven punts, a Stony Brook interception and a Towson field goal that was blocked. Still leading 7-3 with less than two minutes remaining in the game, the Seawolves put the game away with a 10-play scoring drive that was capped by a two-yard touchdown run from James Kenner.
 
James Simms paced the Tiger defense with 11 tackles, while Christian Carpenter added 10 stops. Tye Smith added nine tackles while also registering his first interception of the season.
 
The Tigers offense managed 242 yards of total offense. Quarterback Connor Frazier threw for 137 yards, while also picking up 39 on the ground.

Towson hits the road next Saturday to take on James Madison. The game, set to kickoff at 12:30 p.m., can be seen live on Comcast SportsNet and will also be broadcast on CBS Sports Radio 1300.
