This weekend, Stony Brook University proudly inducted four exceptional Seawolves into the Rita & Kurt Eppenstein Athletics Hall of Fame. The ceremony, held at Stony Brook Arena, honored the Class of 2025 for their outstanding contributions to Seawolves athletics.
Michael Bamiro ’13, Football
A dominant offensive tackle, Bamiro anchored Stony Brook’s line from 2010–12, starting 33 straight games. His play helped propel the Seawolves to national recognition and back-to-back FCS playoff appearances, with the rushing offense ranking among the nation’s top 10. He earned first-team All-Big South and AP All-America honors in 2012 before signing with the Philadelphia Eagles. Bamiro later played professionally with the New York Giants, Montreal Alouettes, and Washington Valor.
Shayla Giosia-Brown ’15, Softball
An all-conference honoree in each of her four seasons, Giosia-Brown powered Stony Brook to the 2013 America East Championship and NCAA Tournament berth. She graduated as the program’s all-time leader with 163 RBIs and finished second in hits (232). She still ranks among the top 10 in singles, doubles, total bases, home runs, and runs scored. Her go-ahead grand slam against UAlbany sealed the 2013 title run.
Sean Chamberlain ’07, Men’s Lacrosse
Chamberlain helped guide Stony Brook to four straight America East playoff appearances, including the 2005 championship game. He tallied 80 career points and after graduation became head coach at Farmingdale State in 2014. Under his leadership, the Rams have reached eight straight Skyline Conference playoffs, they have won back-to-back titles and made multiple NCAA Tournament appearances.
Erica Keller-Meyer ’99, ’03, Women’s Soccer
One of the program’s greatest scorers, Keller-Meyer set Stony Brook’s career goals record with 45, a mark that still stands. She also holds records for career points and most goals in a single game. In 1997, she netted 18 goals and 43 points, both single-season Division I program records.
