Volleyball
The Montclair State volleyball team had a big year in 2021, as the Red Hawks matched a school-record with 13 consecutive wins. During the run, they won 25 straight sets and advanced to the NJAC Championship Match. For the first time in school-history, they defeated Stockton twice in the same season and produced two AVCA All-Americans for the first time. They also collected NJAC Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year honors while Head Coach Eddie Stawinski won his 200th career game at the helm of the Red Hawks. Also in 2021, Carly Waterman recorded her 1,000th career kill and became the first two-time All-American.
