STONY BROOK, N.Y. — The Stony Brook volleyball team was not able to secure a win in its final regular season contest, as UMBC won in straight sets on Friday night at Pritchard Gymnasium.

The Seawolves honored their four seniors before the contest, along with grad libero Kiani Kerstetter, but were not able to get the offense going as they hit .074 on the night in a 25-21, 25-18, 25-22 decision.

Amiyah De'Long led Kristin Belzung's club with nine kills on the night, while Kerstetter (18) and Hailey Barden (10) each tallied double-figure digs for the squad.

Stony Brook will await its fate in the upcoming America East Championship, to be held next weekend at UMBC. 

STATS AND NOTES

• Kerstetter's 18 digs are tied for third-most in a game for her this season. She has hit double figures in the category in four in a row and 18 total matches this season.
• Barden collected 10 digs for the fourth time this season and second time in conference play.
• Stony Brook finished 6-5 at Pritchard Gymnasium this season, winning four of its six in league play.

QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"First, I want to acknowledge the group of seniors we honored tonight. Paige, Hailey, Sabrina, and Enitan have given so much to our program and we are thankful they chose to come here four years ago. They have left their mark! Also, a big thank you to Kiani who also played in her final match in Pritchard and has been a staple on the court for five years.
 
I thought we fought hard tonight and honestly in some ways it caused us to make some errors that hurt us in tight sets. I thought we tried to be perfect in situations we didn't need to be. That said, I think we have the ability to execute at a higher level if we can settle into a rhythm earlier in the match. I liked our defensive effort and would like to see us get more in terms of production in transition to allow us to pull away. Everything we have done this season is to prepare us for next weekend and I have been thankful for our focus every day in the gym to be in a position to compete for a championship," said head coach Kristin Belzung.

UP NEXT
The Seawolves' season continues next weekend in Baltimore at the America East Volleyball Championships. The semifinal matchups are set for Friday at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., with the finals set for Saturday at 4 p.m.

The tournament bracket will be set on Sunday night after New Hampshire closes its season at Hartford.
