Apples and Oranges. Stony Brook plays a zone and Carolina plays man to man, you really cant compare the two. In general, coaches who choose to play man have a lot more confidence in their athletes and their ability. Stony Brooks team defense is very good but to try and diminish the Carolina D when they held SBU to 5 goals just make you sound foolish, Obviously the UNC D is excellent.
