(STATS) -- Being snubbed from the FCS playoff field last season is no longer such a big concern for the University of North Dakota.Getting a playoff resume going this year is now the issue following the No. 19 Fighting Hawks 13-9 loss at Stony Brook in the season opener for both teams Thursday night.The Big Sky squad next faces an even more difficult assignment -- a Sept. 10 visit to Mid-American Conference power Bowling Green.Winning with defense and special teams is often UNDs forte, but Stony Brook (1-0) likes the same formula. The CAA Football team erased a 9-7 deficit when Gavin Heslop blocked a Austin Dussold punt attempt and Kye Morgan picked up the ball at UNDs 7-yard line and raced into the end zone with 8:52 to play.I thought our guys played hard, but we never got anything going offensively and when you give up a special teams touchdown, that makes it hard to win, UND coach Bubba Schweigert said. I thought our defense came up with a lot stops tonight, but give Stony Brook credit -- that was a physical football game and a tough one to lose.The two teams combined for only 398 yards (Stony Brook 221, UND 177). Safety Cole Reyes was UNDs defensive standout, scoring on a safety in the third quarter and totaling two fumble recoveries, a forced fumble, eight tackles, two tackles for loss and a sack.The game was tied 7-7 at halftime after both teams scored touchdowns in the second quarter. UNDs John Santiago scored on a 16-yard run and Stony Brooks Cal Daniels recovered teammate Jordan Gowins fumble which bounced into the Fighting Hawks end zone.The intersectional matchup was the return trip of Stony Brooks visit to UND in 2014 -- a 13-3 UND win which had only one offensive touchdown.---=STATS FCS TOP 25=ALL TIMES ETTHURSDAY, SEPT. 1No. 3 Jacksonville State (1-0) 31, North Alabama (0-1) 12Jacksonville State quarterback Eli Jenkins picked up where he left off in earning first-team All-America honors for the FCS runner-up last season.
