WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — The Stony Brook tennis team (11-8, 4-2 CAA) had their CAA Championship Tournament come to an end in the Quarterfinals on Friday, as the 5-seeded Seawolves fell 4-0 to the No. 4 seed Elon University (16-6, 4-1 CAA) at the Macksey Tennis Center on the campus of William & Mary University.
