Coach Belzung's Reaction
"Thankful for McKyla, Emily and Carla's impact on the Stony Brook community and our volleyball program. They are strong women who will continue on to incredible things in their future, and I am thankful to have gotten to coach them. I am incredibly proud of our group for walking in and competing with confidence from the start. We could not get into any kind of offensive rhythm and credit BYU for stressing us at the net and scrapping in the back court. Proud of our defense for stepping up and working to extend rallies. Thank you to everybody back on Long Island for your incredible support all season!"
