| dbo:abstract | The Battle of Long Island refers to a collegiate sports rivalry between the Hofstra Pride and the Stony Brook Seawolves, who both are located on Long Island. Hofstra University is the largest private university on Long Island and is located in Hempstead, New York in Nassau County, while Stony Brook University is the largest public university in the state of New York by area and is located in Suffolk County. Since 2022, both schools have been members of the Colonial Athletic Association, with Stony Brook playing in the America East Conference from 2001 to 2022. Until the merger of LIU Brooklyn and LIU Post into the singular LIU Sharks department in 2019, Hofstra and Stony Brook represented the only Division I universities located on Long Island. The two schools are separated by a distance of 28 miles (45 km). The sports rivalry has traditionally revolved around men's basketball, which was the first meeting between the two schools in 1973. Hofstra first fielded a basketball team in 1935 and joined the East Coast Conference in 1974 when the NCAA created the Division I classification. Stony Brook first fielded a basketball team in 1960 but remained at the Division III level before elevating to Division I in 1999. Hofstra leads the all-time series 24–6. Hofstra leads the series 13–5 since both schools became Division I in 1999. The two schools used to play each other every year in football from 1984 to 1990 and 2004 to 2009 as well before Hofstra eliminated its football program in 2009. When Hofstra dropped football, Stony Brook became the only Division I football team on Long Island. (en) |
