Scranton, PA — The State University of New York at New Paltz women's volleyball team traveled to Scranton, PA Friday and dropped its season opener against hosting University of Scranton. The Hawks fall to 0-1 overall (0-0 SUNYAC) while the Royals improve to 1-0 overall (0-0 Landmark).  
 
SUNY New Paltz had a rough start and lost the first set 18-25, but the Hawks later came back and took set two, winning 25-22. However, SUNY New Paltz wasn't able to hold onto the lead several times in the third and fourth sets, falling 18-25 and 23-25 respectively.

"We need to work on every aspect of our game heading into tomorrow and our ability to be resilient when we make a bad play" said Hawks coach Matt Giufre of his team's performance. "We were completely out played tonight. We look forward to coming back tomorrow and taking a step forward in consistency and overall quality of play. We have the talent to do it, but we need to do it under adversity."
