Hempstead, NY - The Hofstra Volleyball team will host three matches this week as the Pride begins a regular-season closing four-match homestand with seeding in the upcoming Colonial Athletic Association Championship beginning to come clearer. 

The Pride will host Charleston on Thursday at 7 p.m. and then entertain UNCW on Saturday at 1 p.m. before closing the weekend with a 3 p.m. match against Delaware on Sunday. 

There will be Pride Productions live video/audio of all three matches as well as live statistics. Links can be found on this page and on the volleyball schedule page at GoHofstra.com. The audio for the video stream and the audio only stream is provided by WRHU (88.7 FM). 

Hofstra currently sits in second place in the CAA standings with a 9-3 conference mark to go along with its 19-7 overall record. They are one match behind James Madison in the standings. The Pride enters this week having won three straight matches, including both last week in sweeps. 

Charleston is in third place with an 8-4 record in CAA play, along with a 17-9 overall mark. The Cougars have won two straight and four of its last five, including wins over Towson and Delaware last weekend. 

UNCW will bring a 13-8 record and a 6-5 CAA ledger into Saturday's contest. The Seahawks have also won two straight, including stunning first place James Madison on Saturday. 

Delaware sits at 9-15 overall and 3-9 in conference play. The Blue Hens have dropped three straight matches, most recently falling at UNCW and Charleston last weekend.
