FSU sports information:
Audrey Koenig put together one of the best individual performances you will ever see as the No. 24 Florida State volleyball team (17-6, 9-4) defeated Wake Forest (13-11, 5-8) in three sets (25-23, 25-23, 25-11) on Friday night at Tully Gym.
FSU came out strong in the first set, jumping to a quick 5-0 lead, but the set quickly became a back-and-forth battle. Despite several lead changes, the Seminoles maintained their composure with Koenig leading the offense with eight kills and Kyleene Filimaua adding four kills. Wake Forest led down the stretch at 22-21, but back-to-back kills from Koenig gave the Noles the lead, and Filimaua put down the final kill of the set to give the Noles the advantage.
The second set was equally competitive, with both teams exchanging momentum throughout. FSU found itself down 22-20, but a block from Iane Henke and Khori Louis tied the set at 22 then back-to-back hitting errors gave the Noles set point. The Demon Deacons cut it to one, but Louis finished the set off with a kill to give the Noles a 2-0 advantage in the match.
FSU dominated the third set from the start as Koenig put one of the most impressive service rallies you'll ever see. The Noles went on a 9-0 run with Koenig on the service line which included five aces from Koenig including a point where she had three consecutive aces. The Noles rolled in the set 25-11 to take the match.
Koenig had the best match of her career as she recorded 20 kills on 35 swings with just two errors to hit .514. Her 20 kills were the most of her career in a three-set match and tied for the most of any ACC player this season. Koenig also had a career-high eight aces which is the second-most aces ever in a match in Florida State history. Her eight aces are also tied for the second-most of any player this season in a three-set match.
Koenig wasn't the only player to make some history at Tully Gym on Friday night as Louis picked up 1,000th kill in the third set. Louis joins the late, great Brianna Barry as the only two Seminole middle blockers to reach 1,000 kills in the rally scoring era. Louis also becomes just the seventh player in school history to reach 1,000 kills in the rally scoring era.
Loren Robertson picked up her fourth double double of the season with 15 assists and 10 digs.
FSU will be back in action against NC State on Sunday at 1 p.m. on ACCNX.
