The No. 4 Florida State beach volleyball team will travel to Tampa this weekend for the Tampa Invitational. The Seminoles will face Houston Christian, No. 20 Tampa, Coastal Carolina and FGCU.

The Noles are coming off a dominant 4-0 victory at home last weekend against Tampa, No. 16 Georgia State, No. 18 Stetson, and ULM. FSU’s commanding performance saw the Seminoles drop just four sets over 20 matches, extending their record to 7-0 this season.

The weekend was capped with graduate student Maddie Anderson and junior Skyler Germann being recognized as the CCSA Pair of the Week. The duo defeated all four pairs they played in two sets and have yet to drop a set this season.

Tampa is coming off a 2-2 weekend in Tallahassee, beating Stetson and ULM. The Spartans remain in the top 20 for the second week in a row.

FSU previously defeated Coastal Carolina 5-0 in Jacksonville on February 23. Since that match, the Chanticleers have gone 4-3, defeating Jacksonville, UT Chattanooga, and College of Charleston, and falling to No. 13 FIU, UNC Wilmington, and South Carolina.

This weekend will mark the first of two meetings between FSU and FGCU this season. The Noles are 4-0 in their history against Eagles, previously defeating them 3-2 last March. FGCU currently sits at 7-3 with notable wins over Mercer, Southern Miss, Jacksonville, and UNF.

The Seminoles look to continue their dominance, playing at 11 a.m., and 5 p.m. on Friday, and at 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Live stats from each match will be available on Seminoles.com.
