FSU sports information:
Florida State Volleyball moves to 3-0 in ACC play for the first time since 2019 after defeating North Carolina, 3-0 (25-22, 25-22, 25-15), on Friday night at Tully Gym.
The Seminoles (9-6, 3-0) put together one of their most complete passing performances of the season, totaling 46 digs in three sets, staying solid on serve-receive and holding the Tar Heels (7-5, 1-2) to a .197 hitting percentage. In her return from injury after missing five matches, sophomore Audrey Rothman helped FSU with 10 kills, 10 digs and a .500 hitting percentage.
Junior outside hitter Audrey Koenig recorded 14 kills and 10 digs along with a .414 hitting percentage, pairing with Rothman to form a lethal attack. The Seminoles added eight blocks in three sets, getting four each from junior middle blocker Khori Louis and freshman right-side Maddie Snider.
FSU committed just one service error in the match in one of its cleanest showings of the season. Freshman Kyleene Filimaua earned the start at libero and finished with 12 digs. Setters Jelli Draskovic (14) and Kenna Phelan (21) contributed greatly to FSU’s .370 attack percentage.
FSU came back from a 16-11 hole in the first set to win 25-22, with the last point coming on a challenge by Head Coach Chris Poole with UNC having four touches on its offensive side. Both teams exchanged several lead changes and the set was tied at 22-22, but subsequent kills by Rothman, Phelan and Khori Louis gave the Seminoles a 1-0 overall lead.
The Seminoles showed more fight in the second frame, getting down 17-12 before finishing the set on a 13-5 run. Kiari Robey delivered a service ace to tie the set at 20-20, and a kill by Rothman extended the FSU lead to 22-20. After UNC tied it back up at 22-22, FSU finished it off as a service ace by Draskovic gave the Seminoles a set point at 24-22, followed by a UNC attack error.
FSU hit .500 in the third set and ran away with the match, building an 18-9 lead that was too much to overcome for the Tar Heels.
The Seminoles return to Tully Gym with a 2 p.m. matchup on Sunday vs. Duke.
