BRONXVILLE, NY – The St. Joseph's College women's volleyball team remained undefeated in the Hudson Valley Women's Athletic Conference sweeping Sarah Lawrence College, 3-0 (25-17, 25-14, 25-18) on Wednesday evening at the Campbell Athletic Center.

St. Joseph's (9-8, 2-0 HVWAC) was powered by a season second-best .304 hitting percentage, recording 32 kills to eight errors.

Senior Kathy McCarthy (Breezy Point, NY/Fontbonne Hall) and sophomore Megan Moran (Syosset, NY/St. Dominic's) led the St. Joseph's attack with eight kills apiece while reigning HVWAC Player of the Week Kim Matthews (Brooklyn, NY/Bishop Kearney) and freshman Nicole Rios (Astoria, NY/Mary Louis) chipped in five kills each. Matthews led the defense with 10 digs and a block. Sophomore Sabrina Cornia (Miller Place, NY/Miller High) directed the offense with 25 assists and added four kills.

Sarah Lawrence (2-16, 0-5 HVWAC) was led by Kathryn O'Sullivan who had a match-high 10 kills and 13 digs.
