FSU sports information:

Fans will have their first opportunity to see the 2025 Florida State beach volleyball team on Saturday as the Seminoles will host their annual Garnet and Gold Scrimmage at 4 p.m. The gates will open at 3 p.m. and admission to the event is free.

The Seminoles are coming off a 31-8 season, securing their seventh CCSA championship and recording a perfect 13-0 home record – the first in program history. Coach Brooke Niles enters her 10th season with Florida State with a 263-61 record, making her the winningest coach in NCAA beach volleyball history. In 2024, Niles won her second CCSA Coach of the Year honor.

FSU returns three CCSA first-team All-Conference performers in Alexis Durish, Audrey Koenig and Anna Long. Durish enjoyed a breakout year in 2024, winning 29 matches on four courts, and a CCSA Pair of the Tournament award. Koenig finished 2024 with a 30-8 record primarily on court two. Long accumulated a 21-7 record in 2024 as she won 20 consecutive matches across four courts. The trio largely contributed to the Seminoles’ success that saw another conference title and an appearance in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament.

Florida State will open the 2025 season on Feb. 21 in the Beach Burg Invitational in Hattiesburg, Miss., against North Alabama at 11:40 a.m.
