FSU sports information:
The No. 15 Florida State volleyball team (4-0) continued its great start to the season with a sweep (26-24, 25-19, 25-19) over Cal Poly (2-3) on Friday evening at the Auburn Invitational in Auburn, Ala. FSU moves to 4-0 for the first time since 2017.
The Noles jumped out to the early lead and kept the Mustangs at distance as they never squandered the lead until the Mustangs went on a fierce 6-0 run to take their first lead of the game at 24-23. Cal Poly gave the Noles a gift with back-to-back errors to give FSU set point, and Taylor Head put down set point to give FSU a 1-0 lead in the match.
After FSU jumped out to an early lead in set two, the Mustangs battled back to tie the set at 16, but the Seminoles used a quick 3-0 spurt thanks to an error by Cal Poly, an ace by Kyleene Filimaua and kill by Audrey Koenig to give the Noles some cushion. The Mustangs had chances to cut the lead to two twice in the final moments of the set, but FSU scored the final three points to take a commanding 2-0 match lead.
Set three followed the same path as both teams went back and forth in the early parts of the set. FSU used a 4-0 run to take a 13-10 lead to separate themselves and cruised to another 25-19 win.
Koenig led the way with 11 kills on 29 attempts while Iane Henke made a splash in her FSU debut with 10 kills on 19 attempts to go along with six blocks. Khori Louis continued to be very efficient as she had 9 kills on 21 attempts (.429) while also adding six blocks. Loren Robertson led the way with 19 assists and nine digs.
FSU will play host Auburn on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. on SECN+.
