Florida State’s volleyball team lost for only the second time in its last 12 games losing in three sets at No. 4 Louisville on Friday night.

The Seminoles (15-8, 9-2 ACC) lost 25-20, 25-22 and 25-16 in the hard-fought match between top ACC programs.

Audrey Koenig led the Seminoles with a game-high 29 attacks. She also led FSU with 11 kills, while Khori Louis had six.

Keana Phelan tied Koenig with 10 digs to lead FSU and her 15 assists were the high mark for the Seminoles.

The first set began with both teams fighting for the lead. A big time kill by Sydney Conley kept it close at 6-7. Conley and Robey’s block then tied the score at 11-11. Later, a block by Audrey Rothman had the Noles within two but it was not enough to catch Louisville as the set ended 20-25. Koenig had a team leading three kills, while Robey recorded two blocks, and Kenna Phelan had five assists in the first set.

The second set was another close battle. Koenig closed out a long rally with a kill to make the score 3-2. The Seminoles fought hard to keep it close and ended up tying the match at 21-21 on a kill from Conley. The second set ended on a 3-0 run by Louisville to finish the score at 22-25.

The final set looked promising for FSU until Louisville went on a run to take a 7-13 lead. Koenig was the first Seminole to reach 10 kills in the match. Block assists by Skye Ekes and Khori Lous flustered Louisville but it was not enough as they closed out the match sweeping the Seminoles (16-25).

FSU’s next match will be at Notre Dame on Sunday at 1 p.m. televised on ACC Network Extra.

The Noles look to continue their dominance at Notre Dame leading the series 13-4 with an away record of 7-1. They hold a 2-match win streak over Notre Dame heading into Sunday.
