Led by former Tidewater Conference of Independent Schools standout Sherese Pittman’s 15 points, the Seawolves (24-3, 15-2) stifled Hampton 71-35 on Thursday night before 644 at the HU Convocation Center.
Camryn Hill scored 19 points for the Pirates (3-24, 3-14), three more than her teammates’ total combined. HU was 14 of 73 (19.2%) from the field, including 0 for 23 from 3-point range. Hill was 7 of 23, while her teammates were 7 of 50.
Pittman, from Steward School, added 14 rebounds and three assists, weathering seven turnovers. Khari Clark had 13 points and 14 rebounds for Stony Brook, outrebounded Hampton 70-35.
