Hempstead, NY – Sophomore setter Hannah Klemm had an outstanding match with 36 assists and nine digs, while senior outside hitter Kelsie Wills added a match-high 15 kills and eight digs to lead the Hofstra Volleyball team to a convincing three-set sweep of Long Island rival Stony Brook on Wednesday evening at the David S. Mack Physical Education Center.

The first set was a back and forth affair with both squads having multiple chances to put the stanza away.

The set was even offensively by both teams with Hofstra notching 18 kills and Stony Brook putting down 16.

The second set saw the Seawolves take an early 11-9 lead before the Pride stormed back with eight straight points to take a commanding 17-11 lead midway through the set. Stony Brook would never get closer than two the rest of the set before Hofstra pulled away for the dominating 25-18 win.

In the third set, a kill from Burke would break a 17-all tie and Hofstra would take a 23-19 lead following a service ace from Wills. The Pride would put the punctuation point on the victory as sophomore middle blocker Veronika Kostova slammed down the final point of the match to give Hofstra the three-set sweep of the Seawolves.
