Another game, another win for the Stony Brook volleyball team. The Seawolves won their America East conference opener by sweeping the Hartford Hawks, 3-0 (25-9, 26-24, 25-15).

Stony Brook cruised largely due to stellar play from the duo of Ashley Headen (Alexandria, VA) and senior Harmonie Calinda (Huntington, NY). Both notched double-doubles on the day, as Headen collected 10 kills and 10 blocks, while Calinda picked up 18 digs to go with her 10 blocks.

The Seawolves easily took the first set after jumping out to an early 9-0 lead. The second set proved to be more challenging, but the road team managed to pull out the tight 26-24 win. In the third, the Seawolves once again took a quick lead and never looked back, recording their 6th sweep of the season.

The seventh straight win for the Seawolves, who at one point were 2-8, improves their record to 9-8. Conference play continues next Sunday, when the Seawolves face New Hampshire in Pritchard Gymnasium.
