Hempstead, NY - With a piece of the CAA regular-season title still within reach, the Hofstra University volleyball team closes the regular season at home this weekend, hosting North Carolina A&T at the David S. Mack Physical Education Center.

The teams meet Friday, Nov. 13 at 3 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. on FloCollege. Following Saturday's match, Hofstra will honor its three seniors, Beatriz Braga, Nil Kayaalp, and Lauren Konzen, in a post-match recognition.

Hofstra (17-5, 12-2 CAA) enters the final weekend one game behind College of Charleston (22-3, 13-1 CAA) in the race for the regular-season title. The Pride, who earned a share of the crown and the No. 1 overall seed in the CAA Tournament last season, will need help to repeat. To earn a share of the title, Hofstra must sweep the weekend against A&T and have the Cougars drop at least one of their final two.

Charleston will have the comfort of its home floor but faces a red-hot Campbell team (14-11, 10-4 CAA). The Camels have won eight straight since opening CAA play at 2-4, and sit two games behind the Pride with two to play. Hofstra swept its regular-season series with Campbell at the PEC on Oct. 2-3.

Hofstra is 9-1 against A&T since the Aggies joined the CAA in 2022, including six straight wins in 2024 and 2025. The Pride have swept A&T in five of those six matches and are 4-0 against the Aggies at the PEC, dropping just one set in those four meetings.

Last season, Hofstra swept a regular-season series at A&T before beating the Aggies again, 3-0, in the CAA Tournament semifinals to advance to the CAA Championship match. The Pride hit .329 across the three contests and held A&T to .138.

Braga dominated that series. She totaled 56 kills on .350 hitting, including 20 kills in the series opener and 21 in a five-set win the next day, which earned her CAA Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors. She followed with 15 kills on .500 hitting in the tournament win. Braga reached 1,000 career kills at Towson on Nov. 7 and now has 1,002, becoming the 19th player in program history to achieve that milestone.

North Carolina A&T (12-13, 7-7 CAA) is in a logjam of teams fighting for the final spots in the CAA Tournament. Like the Pride, the Aggies can put the ball away. Both teams rank among the CAA's top five in hitting percentage, with Hofstra at .228 and A&T at .220. Tyne Ross leads the conference with 378 kills.
