HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – William & Mary Volleyball falls in their second match at Hofstra on Sunday as the Pride power to a 3-0 (25-27, 25-20, 25-21) victory in Long Island. 

The Pride improve to 16-5 on the season and 6-4 in CAA play as the Tribe fall to 11-9 on the year and match Hofstra's 6-4 CAA record.

Sabrina Malcolm added four blocks and Olivia Esposito tallied three of her own in the match as Taylor Burrell led the Tribe with eight kills.

Three Tribe players added a pair of kills in the first set, but the Pride's service line added five aces to tip the scales toward a 1-0 advantage in the match for the host.

The Tribe took the first point of the second set on a nice block by Esposito and Katherine Arnason, but the Pride rallied to take an early lead. Totaling 13 kills in the second set and limiting errors on the attack, the Green and Gold hit at a .212 clip, but Hofstra's .343 hitting percentage in the frame prevailed.

Hofstra took the first point of the third set on an attack error and held onto their lead throughout. The Tribe rallied back within three points on a 4-0 run in the middle of the set, as Malcolm slammed down a kill and Emma Minnick earned an ace.

With kills from Burrell and Maddie Meyers, the Tribe survived set point three times, but the Pride capped the game with a kill from Izadora Stedile.
