Stony Brook, N.Y. - Stony Brook senior Dennis Nafte will play for the North squad in this weekend's STX/USILA North-South Classic to be held Saturday at Sacred Heart University. Nafte becomes the seventh Seawolf to play in the annual all-star game and the second in two years.

The veteran face-off specialist won 111 of 174 face-offs this season for a .638 winning percentage which ranked him fifth in the nation. His outstanding play earned him second-team All-America East honors in early May.

Former Stony Brook standout Kevin Pall was named to the North squad in 2002.

Saturday's Division I game will face-off at 3 p.m. and follows the Division III all-star game which begins at noon. Tickets can be purchased online at www.SacredHeartPioneers.com or by calling the Sacred Heart ticket office at 203-396-TIXX.
