STONY BROOK, N.Y. – The Stony Brook volleyball team earned its home victory at Pritchard Gym this season, downing St. Francis Brooklyn in four sets (25-18, 22-25, 25-20, 25-20) on Tuesday night. The victory marks the Seawolves' second in a row after notching a win over Florida A&M this past Saturday.

Coach Belzung's Reaction
"We put an emphasis on playing clean tonight and the parts of the match we did went well. We need to continue to extend periods of time that we execute well and will get that through training. We have an important final non-conference weekend ahead of us at Yale to shore up our game prior to America East play."
