Women’s Volleyball Opens MAC Freedom Competition with Sweep of Wilkes

HOBOKEN, N.J. (Sept. 18, 2019) – Led by a balanced attack featuring a team hitting percentage of .307 in the match, the Stevens Institute of Technology women's volleyball team kicked off play in the MAC Freedom with a 3-0 (25-11, 25-18, 25-15) victory over Wilkes Wednesday inside Canavan Arena.

With the win, Stevens has now won 52 consecutive regular season conference matches dating back to October of 2012. The Ducks improved their overall record to 3-5 while the Colonels dropped to 6-6.
