ALBANY, N.Y.- The Stony Brook volleyball team defeated Albany in three sets (25-12, 25-20, 25-11) Sunday afternoon. The Seawolves improve to 17-8, and the Great Danes fall to 14-9 on the season.
Coach Belzung's Reaction
"This was obviously a big match for our team and to see us come in focused and locked in made for a fun match. Defensively I thought we made Albany uncomfortable, and that allowed us to get some good offensive opportunities. We also did a great job putting pressure on them from the service line. Looking forward to closing out on the road and proud of the team for earning the right to host the America East Championship the following weekend."
