According to a new page on the university’s commencement website, the ceremony will be held on Friday, Sept. 10 in Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium. Stony Brook University officials said planning is still underway and further updates will be posted online over the next few weeks.

UAlbany couldn’t break its long losing streak Saturday against Stony Brook, as the Seawolves won yet another America East Conference women’s lacrosse championship.
With a 16-9 win at its home Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium on Long Island, Stony Brook secured its eighth consecutive league championship. All eight of those title victories have come against a Great Danes program that has appeared in the last 10 conference championship games.
“We gave it our all,” UAlbany graduate student Madison Conway said during a post-game teleconference of the Great Danes’ effort.

It’s the challenge the UAlbany women’s lacrosse program hasn’t been able to solve for years.
The Great Danes, though, don’t approach their latest matchup with Stony Brook, their top nemesis, with a sense of dread. It’s not easy to take on a program that’s defeated them in 16 consecutive matchups and the last seven America East Conference championship games, sure, but Saturday’s 1 p.m. league championship game at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium on Long Island was inevitably where the Great Danes’ season was headed.

Leading up to Thursday’s America East Conference semifinal against Vermont, members of the UAlbany women’s lacrosse team promised they weren’t looking past the Catamounts to a potential meeting in this weekend’s championship game against rival Stony Brook.
The Great Danes, clearly, meant it.
On the way to a 17-8 victory against Vermont at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium, UAlbany opened Thursday’s game on Long Island with eight unanswered goals.
“We came out flying,” UAlbany head coach Katie Rowan Thomson said during a post-game teleconference.

ALBANY A championship rematch with Stony Brook, in all likelihood, looms.
And, make no doubt about it, that’s the game that will largely determine the way this UAlbany women’s lacrosse season gets remembered.
But the Great Danes cannot play that game, the one their program needs to find a way to win to move forward, until this weekend and they won’t play that game unless they take care of business Thursday against Vermont in the America East Conference semifinals at Stony Brook’s Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium at 6:30 p.m.
