WEST HAVEN, Conn – Home sweet home for the University of New Haven Women's Volleyball team, after 13 games that stretched from Florida to Delaware and up to New York, the blue and gold get to finally tip off in Charger Gymnasium in front of their home crowd for the first time since November 16 of 2021 when the Chargers beat Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) 3-1 in the first round of the NE10 Conference Championships. Now the Chargers open up against the Penmen looking to replicate the result the last time they were home in 2021 to open up their new season at home for 2022.
Series History

Sophia Leon-Tabor (Fort Myers, Fla./Fort Myers) now at 365 assists continues to lead. Moore along with Brown and Leon-Tabor highlight the top and with Emily Barry (Freeport, N.Y./Sacred Heart Academy) in the lineup it has created a dangerous attack for the Chargers that are all combining together.
