Hempstead, NY - Junior Laura Masciullo had 10 kills and four blocks, sophomore Dubravka Krakovic added a career-best six blocks and freshman Maddie Appleton posted a match-high 20 digs to lead the Hofstra Volleyball team to an easy three-set win over Elon on Friday evening at the David S. Mack Physical Education Center. 

Set scores were 25-18, 25-14 and 25-8 for Hofstra, which improved to 12-5 and 2-1 in Colonial Athletic Association action. Elon slipped to 8-5 and 0-2 in the league.
