Watch: Stony Brook, Albany Mascots Fight During Title Game

Wolfie and Damien the Great Dane tangle on the sideline.

With a NCAA bid on the line Saturday in the America East title game between Stony Brook and Albany, emotions were running high inside Stony Brook's Pritchard Gymnasium. 

So high in fact that the mascots got into a little skirmish during the first half. Check out the video above of Stony Brook's Wolfie and Albany's Damien the Great Dane engaged in a shoving match in front of the Stony Brook student section. 

"There was just a serious mascot scuffle between the Great Dane of Albany and the Seawolf of Stony Brook," CBSSports.com reporter Jeff Borzello tweeted. "Event personnel had to separate."

Stony Brook would go on to lose the game in heartbreaking fashion 69-60. The mascots, however, seem to have smoothed things over. A video posted on Wolfie's Instagram account shows the two mascots hugging it out later in the game. 

"It's all mascot love," Wolfie wrote. "Just friendly competition." 

Video of the mascot fight was featured on ESPN SportsCenter's "Not Top 10" segment Saturday.
