Brooklyn, N.Y. -- The Bryant University women's volleyball team picked up a solid 3-1 win over Long Island University Saturday afternoon at LIU's Wellness Center, earning its 17th victory of the season to set a new single-season wins record in the Division I era. Game scores were 13-25, 25-19, 25-17 and 25-20.

Junior outside hitter Jazmin Stoner (Durango, Colo.) paced the way for the Bulldogs with 14 kills while adding nine digs and three blocks as Bryant improved to 17-15 overall and 4-9 within the Northeast Conference. Bryant's previous top wins mark (DI) was 16 set in 2008.

Bryant would take the third set, 25-17, and closed out the match with a 25-20 win, thanks to a .387 team hitting percentage. Sophomore Emily Kaup (Chandler, Ariz.) hit .417 for the match with six kills and only one error in 12 swings. Junior middle hitter Maria Scocca (Melrose, Mass.) recorded eight kills and posted a team-best five blocks.

Sophomore Jadith Lorenzo (Lawrence, Mass.) registered another double-double to add to her impressive season totals with 26 assists and 15 digs, while rookie Leigh Fishback (Edmonds, Wash.) dished out 12 helpers in three sets for one of her top performances of the year.
