Today we go on the road and play Hampton
We were without our best outside hitter, and both of our mid blockers did not see any action
Coach Mansur went to the bench and played a couple of freshman and a sophomore
After the first set, which we won 25-18
We started off slow in the second set and we're trailing8-3
Emily then flipped the switch and rattle off a 25-16 win in the second set
From there, we dominated the third set with a 25-8 win
Another 3-0 set win
Now stand12-2 and 5-2 in conference

We blow out Hampton once again in three straight sets by scores of 25-11,25-15 and 25-13. Hampton is 1-17 and 0-8 this season. Like some of their other sports Hampton just cannot compete in this conference. At the present time they don't belong in the CAA. The only plus in this game is that players that normally don't get much playing time see the court.

We played without Stedile Nunez and Amoram
Basically half the A team and half the B team

A-tough match against a good Stony Brook team next week

Bumped to the top
Hofstra sweeps Stony Brook 3-0
Set scores were 30-28 25-13 and 25-16

Very workmen like victory over a decent Stonybrook team

We sweep Stony Brook again scores were 25-18,25-21 and 25-23. We're now 15-2 overall and 8-2 in the conference. Love beating S.B. in anything and everything!

We have an emerging star in FR Nina Jioshvili-Ravva, whose parents are both accomplished international volleyball players. The family, from Georgia, now lives in France. How did Nina wind up at Hofstra?

Jojo Emilys husband is from Germany
He has connections to that part of Europe
Add in the fact that Emily is Portuguese
And we get quite a few players from Brazil

I said at the beginning of the year this might be Emily's best team at Hofstra
Except for that hiccup losing 2 five set matches at Charleston and this could be a team that would be17-0 instead if 15-2

We go on the road to play Rider and come away with a 3-0 sweep
Set scores were25-22 25-9 and 25-14
We now go on a 12 break then go play NCA&T on the road

#105 Towson
#154 Campbell
#206 NCA&T
#208 Stony Brook
#225 Wiliam & Mary

Hofstra defeats NCA&T 3-0 by set scores of 25-20 28-26 25-20
That is an 8 match winning streak all sweeps
We sit at 17-2 and 9-2 in conference

We win our ninth match in a row beatingNca&t in five sets
We now tied with Campbell for first place in the CAA

Not including our sweep over NCA&T our ranking in volleyball we are now up to number 99
We finally break the hundred mark

This is good news maybe we can finally win the CAA.

latest RPI for Hofstra is #73
just keep winning and we should break the top 50 soon
