PULLMAN, WA– The Stony Brook volleyball team fell to Washington State in three sets on Saturday. The Cougars move to 7-0 on the season, and the Seawolves move to 4-7.
Coach Belzung's Reaction
"Washington State is a deserving Top 25 member. They were physical and executed at a high level. The margin for error at the highest level is very slim, and overall I thought this match was the best we competed this weekend. We are looking forward to having a week of training before hosting a tough home tournament next weekend. Can't wait to be back in Pritchard for three straight days."
