        BRONXVILLE, N.Y. (Sept. 6, 2014) – On Saturday, the Maritime women's volleyball team achieved something that hasn't been done by the program in quite some time. The Privateers won both matches at the Sarah Lawrence tri-match over Bard College and the host Gryphons for the squad's first three-match winning streak in the past decade. Maritime improves to 3-2 on the season, which is the first time the team has been over the .500 mark since the 2011 season.

        The first match of the day was a thriller. The Privateers jumped out to a two-sets to none lead overall in the contest with 25-16 and 25-21 wins, but Bard charged back to tie the match, winning sets three and four, 25-20 and 33-31, to force a decisive fifth set. Maritime came out strong in the final set, starting out on a 7-1 run and never looked back, taking the set 15-10.
 
        Freshman Shannon Brady (Bayport, N.Y./Bayport-Blue Point) matched a Maritime modern day program record with 21 kills in the match, tying former Privateer Danielle Scicutella, who reached that mark back in 2004. She also picked up 17 digs for her first career double-double.
