FSU sports information:
The No. 15 Florida State volleyball team (4-1) suffered its first loss of the season to Auburn (6-0) in four sets (25-22, 18-25, 20-25, 20-25) on Sunday afternoon at Neville Arena.
FSU got off to a great start in set one as they jumped out to an early lead and were the first to 10 and 15 points in the set. Auburn fought back to tie the set at 20, but the Seminoles scored five out of the final seven points to take the first set.
The Seminoles were unable to find a rhythm in the second set as Auburn led from nearly start to finish in the second set to tie the match.
The team went back and forth through the first 20 points of set three as the set was tied at 10. Auburn used a quick 4-0 run to go ahead 14-10 and continued to put the foot on the gas to extend their lead to 21-15. FSU fought back to make things interesting late in the set, but it was too little too late as the Tigers to the lead in the match.
The teams once again went back and forth in the first half of the set, but the Tigers used a run in the middle of the set to take a 19-15 lead. The Seminoles responded with a 3-0 run of its own to cut the lead to one, but Auburn had one more run in them and ended the match on a 6-2 run to hand FSU its first loss of the season.
Audrey Koenig was phenomenal for the Seminoles as she recorded 19 kills including her 1,000th career kill. Koenig is just the sixth player in school history to have 1,000 career kills in the rally scoring era. Kenna Phelan and Loren Robertson each recorded double doubles as Phelan had 26 assists and 19 digs while Robertson added 22 assists and 12 digs. Phelan's 19 digs was a career high.
FSU will have a quick turnaround as they will face North Florida in Jacksonville on Tuesday at 5 p.m. The match can be seen live on ESPN+.
