UNCW volleyball sweeps Hampton, awaits results to determine playoff hopes

HAMPTON, VA (WWAY) — UNCW women’s volleyball closed its regular season with a win Friday, but its postseason hopes remain uncertain as the team awaits the results of other Coastal Athletic Association games.

The Seahawks swept Hampton 3-0 (25-16, 25-16, 25-20) in their regular-season finale, finishing 14-15 overall and 8-8 in conference play.

Elaina Murphy led UNCW with a match-high 15 kills. Gaby Zovko added six kills and 33 assists, while Morgan Esmie recorded a match-high 14 digs.

Despite the victory, UNCW’s place in the CAA Tournament has not been determined. The Seahawks will monitor conference results Friday and Saturday to see if they qualify for the tournament for the first time since 2018.

UNCW finished conference play with its best record since going 9-9 in 2023.

Hampton finished its season 2-24 overall and 0-16 in conference play.
