Stony Brook stays on top
The Seawolves (10-8, 4-0 AE) remain at the top of the America East standings as the lone undefeated team. Most recently, SBU defeated UAlbany 3-1 at home last Friday. Emily Costello lead Stony Brook with 13 kills and also tallied 12 digs while LeAnne Sakowicz notched 47 assists. At the conclusion of the week Sakowicz was named America East Setter of the Week.
