The St. John’s volleyball team will face its cross-island foe for the fifth straight season
QUEENS, N.Y. (Sept. 13, 2021) – The St. John's volleyball team will travel to Stony Brook, N.Y., on Tuesday for a match against the Seawolves.
The Red Storm will play its cross-island foe at 6 p.m. inside Pritchard Gymnasium. The match will be live streamed WatchESPN and live stats will be available on StonyBrookAthletics.com.
The Johnnies head to Stony Brook boasting a 6-4 overall record. Last weekend, the Red Storm recorded its fifth straight Jack Kaiser Classic Title after winning a pair of five-set matches on Friday and a three-set sweep on Saturday.
Against Fordham, St. John's lost the first two sets, 25-18 and 25-16, respectively. The Johnnies then came back from the deficit to win three straight sets with scores of 25-21, 25-16, and 15-9, respectively.
In the win against Boston College, St. John's won the first two sets 25-21, and 25-19, respectively. The Eagles took the next two sets both with scores of 25-20. The Red Storm narrowly closed the fifth set, 15-13, to take the victory.
To close out the weekend, St. John's swept Army in three sets. Set scores were 25-15, 25-22, and 25-16, respectively.
Three Johnnies were named to the All-Tournament Team after the victories. Rachele Rastelli was named tournament MVP after recording 65 kills on the weekend, including a career- high 31 kills against Boston College. This was the first time a Red Storm player posted 30-plus kills since Julia Cast tallied 30 on Sept. 19, 2017, against Stony Brook.
Giorgia Walther and Klara Mikelova were also named to the All-Tournament team. Walther recorded 40 kills on the weekend, including 19 in the victory against Fordham. Mikelova was a stellar contributor in the win against Boston College, recording seven kills and a .545 hitting percentage.
Stony Brook will look to defend its home court with a 4-6 overall record and a 2-2 record at home. The Seawolves went 2-1 at their home tournament this weekend, defeating Tarleton State on Friday before splitting Saturday with a win against St. Thomas and a loss to Yale. Stony Brook returns Abby Campbell, who was named to both the First Team All-America East and the league's All-Rookie team last season after posting 106 kills and 26 blocks in 12 games for the Seawolves.
The Johnnies will look to win their fourth straight match against Stony Brook, against whom they have a 16-2 record all-time dating back to 1999.
