No. 20 Seminoles Volleyball Sweeps USF on Opening Night.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 20 Florida State Seminoles (1-0) used a balanced offensive attack to take down the South Florida Bulls (0-1) after a three-set sweep (25-22, 25-14,25-15) on opening night in front of 866 fans in Tully Gym. The Seminoles have now won four consecutive season openers dating back to 2021 and have now won five straight against the Bulls to improve its all-time record to 42-6 against USF.

The Noles had a hard-fought battle to kick off their first set against the Bulls, the lead of the match falling into the hands of both teams throughout the set, but the Seminoles used a 7-2 run to jump out to a 16-12 lead. USF climbed back to tie the set at 21, but the Seminoles scored four out of the final five points to take set one.

The Seminoles showed off their offensive power in the second set as they would take an early lead and never look back in an impressive 25-14 win in the second set. The Noles hit over .500 with Taylor Head and Kyleene Filimaua leading the way with five kills each in the set.

USF jumped out to a 7-3 lead in set three, but the Noles did not stay down for long as they used an 8-1 run in the middle of the set to cruise to a 25-15 win which was sealed with a beautiful block from freshman Johanna Sova.

Kyleene Filimaua led the offensive attack with an impressive 10 kills while Taylor Head and Khori Louis each added nine kills. The Seminole block was in full force with 10 total blocks led by Kelsey Perry with four and Maddie Snider with three. The Seminoles finished with a .367 hitting percentage while keeping the Bulls at a .138 percentage.

No. 20 Seminoles Earn Gutsy Sweep Over UC Santa Barbara.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 20 Florida State Seminoles (2-0) continued its dominance of the Seminole Invitational as they defeated the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos (0-2) after a sweep (25-17, 31-29, 25-22) on Saturday afternoon in the teams' first meeting since 2017.

The Noles fought well in the first set of the day against the Gauchos. The offensive power was showing its true strength through the first 15 points, creating a scoring gap between the two teams before the Gauchos minimized their errors, drawing closer to the Seminoles. The Seminoles closed off this set with an 8-1 scoring run thanks to some timely serving to win the first set 25-17. FSU outhit the Gauchos .318 to .091 in the first set with Kyleene Filimaua leading the way with three kills.

The second set was back-and-forth throughout the entire set, but the Gauchos found a little separation taking a 21-19 lead. The Seminoles fought off six set points and finally prevailed as back-to-back kills by Filimaua gave the Noles its first set point of the set and Khori Louis smashed a perfect set to send Tully Gym into a frenzy to give the Noles a 31-29 win to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the match.

It was another close set in set three with the Gauchos once again taking a 21-19 lead, but FSU dominated late scoring six out of the final seven points capped off by a kill from Maddie Snider to end the match.

The offensive attacks were led by Taylor Head with an impressive 15 kills, with Khori Louis following close behind with 13 kills. The Seminoles destroyed the serving game, having a total of 10 serving aces between the three sets. The Noles finished with a .324 hitting percentage, while holding the Gauchos to a .237 percentage.

Seminoles Down the Dawgs in Top 25 Clash.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 20 Florida State volleyball team (3-0) rose to the occasion on Sunday afternoon as they took down No. 25 Georgia (2-1) in four sets (25-7, 25-14, 17-25, 25-19) in front of a sold out crowd at Tully Gym on Sunday afternoon. Sunday marked the Seminoles' 43rd win over a ranked opponent in school history and was the Seminoles' first non-conference ranked win since beating No. 14 Florida on Sept. 15, 2021.

The Seminoles set the tone early with Kyleene Filimaua and Khori Louis delivering powerful kills that left the Bulldogs on its heels. FSU's relentless defense, highlighted by Emery Dupes' impressive saves, forced Georgia into an early timeout with FSU leading 8-3. Despite their efforts, Georgia trailed for most of the set, struggling to close a persistent five-point deficit. A late surge from the Bulldogs fell short, and Florida State secured the first set with a commanding 25-17 victory.

Georgia claimed the first point of the second set, but the Seminoles quickly retaliated, sending the Bulldogs into yet another timeout with a solid 7-3 lead. FSU maintained a steady five-to-seven-point advantage throughout the set. Although Georgia briefly disrupted the Seminoles' momentum with a successful challenge on an attack error by Filimaua, it wasn't enough. Florida State responded with a timeout of their own at 20-13, regrouped, and rallied to close out the set 25-14.

Georgia found their rhythm in the third set, jumping to an early lead of 5-2. Despite their best efforts, FSU couldn't close the gap and trailed throughout the set. A late push saw the Seminoles reach 17 points, but Georgia's early dominance carried them to a 25-17 win to extend the match to a fourth set.

The fourth set saw a back-and-forth battle with both teams locked at six early on in the fourth set. The two teams were neck and neck at the halfway point and continued to trade points, but with FSU leading 18-17, the Seminoles score seven out of the final nine points to shut the door and seal the victory.

For the third consecutive match, FSU had a different kill leader. Audrey Koenig led the way with 15 kills on 37 attacks. Taylor Head added nine kills to go along with 15 digs. Kelsey Perry made her presence known at the net as she led the Noles with seven blocks, including four in the first set. Kenna Phelan and Loren Robertson each dished out 18 and 16 assists, respectively.

Noles Sweep Cal Poly, Move to 4-0 For First Time Since 2017.

AUBURN, Ala. - 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.

Seminoles Suffer First Loss of Season at Auburn.

AUBURN, Ala. - The No. 15 Florida State volleyball team (4-1) suffered its first loss of the season to Auburn (6-0) in four sets (25-22, 18-25, 20-25, 20-25) on Sunday afternoon at Neville Arena.

FSU got off to a great start in set one as they jumped out to an early lead and were the first to 10 and 15 points in the set. Auburn fought back to tie the set at 20, but the Seminoles scored five out of the final seven points to take the first set.

The Seminoles were unable to find a rhythm in the second set as Auburn led from nearly start to finish in the second set to tie the match.

The team went back and forth through the first 20 points of set three as the set was tied at 10. Auburn used a quick 4-0 run to go ahead 14-10 and continued to put the foot on the gas to extend their lead to 21-15. FSU fought back to make things interesting late in the set, but it was too little too late as the Tigers to the lead in the match.

The teams once again went back and forth in the first half of the set, but the Tigers used a run in the middle of the set to take a 19-15 lead. The Noles responded with a 3-0 run of its own to cut the lead to one, but Auburn had one more run in them and ended the match on a 6-2 run to hand FSU its first loss of the season.

Audrey Koenig was phenomenal for the Noles as she recorded 19 kills including her 1,000th career kill. Koenig is just the sixth player in school history to have 1,000 career kills in the rally scoring era. Kenna Phelan and Loren Robertson each recorded double doubles as Phelan had 26 assists and 19 digs while Robertson added 22 assists and 12 digs. Phelan's 19 digs was a career high.

Louis and Filimaua Have Career Nights to Lead FSU Past Owls.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 21 Florida State volleyball team (6-1) kicked off the Seminole Classic with a sweep (25-23, 25-14, 26-24) against Florida Atlantic (5-3) on Friday night in front of a sold-out crowd at Tully Gym. Friday was the first meeting between the in-state foes since 2019, and FSU kept its unbeaten streak alive against the Owls improving to 11-0 all time.

The Seminoles held similar standings with the Owls during the beginning of the first set, but FSU used a 7-1 run to jump ahead 16-11. The Owls continued to chip away, and eventually tied the set at 22. The Owls had a chance to take the lead, but an attacking error gave the point to the Noles. Taylor Head put down a big kill to get the Noles to set point. The Owls responded with a kill of their own, but Khori Louis slammed the ball into the floor to give the Noles the first set.

The second set saw FSU take control early on, and they ran away with the set with some more great offense as they were hitting .491 through two sets.

Set three began with multiple back and forth points with both teams unable to find a rhythm. Florida Atlantic gained some momentum with a 6-1 run to take a 13-9 lead. The Owls took a 15-13 lead into the media timeout, but back-to-back kills from Louis tied the set, and Head gave the Noles the lead. The two teams traded points, but the Owls used a 3-1 spurt to take a 21-19 lead. FSU responded with a 3-0 run of its own thanks to kills from Louis and Filimaua to take the lead. Both teams saw its fair share of errors, but with the set tied at 24, Louis and Filimaua capped off their career nights with back-to-back kills to end the match.

Louis had a game-high 15 kills on 23 attempts (.609) which tied her career high. Louis also contributed eight blocks which was one shy of her career high. Filimaua had a career high in both kills (14) and hitting percentage (.520) while also leading the team with nine digs. Head also had a solid night offensively with 10 kills on 25 attempts (.400). Loren Robertson led the way by dishing out 28 assists to go with seven digs.

No. 18 Seminoles Fall at No. 16 Florida in Five Sets.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The No. 18 Florida State volleyball team (7-2) fell to the No. 16 Florida Gators (7-2) in five sets (23-25, 25-22, 25-21, 16-25, 6-15) on Tuesday night in Gainesville, Fla.

The level of volleyball was high early on in set one as the two teams traded points, but FSU was able to build a slight lead and took a 15-11 lead at the media timeout. The Gators closed the gap to tie the set at 18. The teams then traded the next 10 points consecutively, but with the set tied at 23, Florida scored the final two points to take the set.

The Seminoles overcame a plethora of service errors in the second set to tie up the match. The two teams traded points once again for a large part of the set, but this time it was FSU who rallied late. With the set tied at 20, a kill from Taylor Head and an attack error by the Gators gave the Noles some separation at 22-20. The Gators cut the lead to one, but FSU scored the final three points to take the set.

It was a set of runs in set three as the Noles used a 6-2 run to jump out to a 15-11 lead at the media timeout. The Gators stormed back on a 10-3 run to take a 20-18 lead, but the Seminoles used a strong block to use a huge 7-1 rally to take the set 25-21.

The Gators rallied back and dominated set four from start to finish to send the match into a fifth set and carried that momentum into the fifth set and ran away with the set 15-6.

Khori Louis continued her terrific play with a career-high 18 kills while hitting .630. Koenig added 13 kills while Head had 10 kills.

Noles Sweep the Tide to Close Out Non-Conference Play.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The No. 18 Florida State volleyball team (8-2) wrapped up non-conference play with a sweep (25-23, 25-23, 25-13) over Alabama (8-3) Saturday afternoon at Foster Auditorium in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The Seminoles 8-2 record through 10 matches is their best start through 10 matches since 2021 when they also started 8-2.

The Seminoles' offense continued to stay hot in the first set as they hit .367 in the first set. After a close start to the set, the Seminoles were able to pull away and take a 17-12 lead. The Tide did not go down without fight and cut the lead to 20-18, but FSU responded to get to set point at 24-20. Alabama scored three-consecutive points to cut it to one, but Audrey Koenig ended the set with a kill to give the Noles a 1-0 lead.

The Noles jumped out to an early 10-2 lead in set two, but Alabama chipped away and tied the set at 15. The teams traded the next few points until Koenig recorded a kill and back-to-back aces to take a 20-16 lead. The Tide tied the set at 21, and after trading points, FSU prevailed to take the set 25-23 with Koenig once again recording a kill to end it.

The third set was all Seminoles from start to finish as they ran away with the final set by a score of 25-13.

The Seminoles hit a season-high .462 while they held Alabama to a .210 hitting percentage. Koenig led the way with her seventh-consecutive match with 10 or more kills as she had a game-high 13 kills. Louis continued her strong play with 11 kills while hitting .600. Maddie Snider came on strong and had a season-high 10 kills on 17 attempts. Defensively, Taylor Head led the way with a season-high 16 digs.

Noles Prevail In Five-Set Thriller Over No. 25 Miami.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - When Florida State and Miami get together on the volleyball court, fans can expect a close and thrilling match, and Wednesday night was no different as the No. 18 Seminoles (9-2, 1-0) prevailed in a five-set win (22-25, 25-22, 24-26, 25-18, 15-10) over No. 25 Miami (9-3, 0-1) on Wednesday night in Tully Gym. FSU has now won five consecutive matches over the Hurricanes and increased its winning streak to 17 games inside of Tully Gym dating back to Sept. 12, 2023.

It was apparent early on that the match was going to be tight all night long as each team traded rallies, and the teams were locked up at 15 at the media timeout. The teams traded 3-0 runs to tie the set at 18, but Miami played its best volleyball of the set late and took set one 25-22.

Miami continued to grasp momentum early in the second set as they jumped out to a 10-6 lead. but some great blocking from the Seminoles jump-started a 7-0 run to give FSU the 13-10 lead. Miami fought back to tie the set at 15 then the teams continued to trade points, but the Noles clung to a 21-20 lead. FSU got big kills from Audrey Koenig and Khori Louis to extend the lead to 23-20, and Koenig ended the second set with her 10th kill of the match to tie it up at one.

FSU got things going early in set three and built a comfortable 14-9 lead, but the Hurricanes continued to chip away and used an 8-3 run to tie the set at 17. The teams traded points until Miami had a quick 3-0 spurt to take a 21-19 lead. A kill from Louis and back-to-back hitting errors from Miami gave the Noles the lead at 22-21, but Miami was able to rebound and take the third set 26-24.

In a win-or-go-home set four for FSU, the Noles jumped all over the Hurricanes as they raced out to a 14-7 lead. Miami was able to cut the lead to five, but that was as close as they would get as FSU forced a fifth set with a 25-18 win in set four.

Miami threw the first punch in the fifth set as they jumped out to a 4-1 lead, but FSU closed the gap quickly and tied the set at five. The teams traded points, but the set turned when Miami unsuccessfully challenged a four-hit call on Florida State. Following the challenge, FSU scored the next four points to take a commanding 13-7 lead. Miami did force three match points, but Louis put down her career-high 20th kill to defeat Miami.

Koenig and Louis were incredible all night for the Noles as Koenig had a game-high 23 kills on 59 attempts, both just one shy of her career high. Koenig has come up big against the Hurricanes in her career as she is averaging just over 19 kills in her last six matches against Miami. Louis continued to stay red-hot as she eclipsed her career high once again with 20 kills while hitting. 600. Louis has hit .600 or higher in seven out of the Noles' 11 matches this season.

FSU's defense was spectacular as they held Miami to just a .180 hitting percentage which was its second-lowest mark of the season. Taylor Head led the way with 21 digs, and Kelsey Perry was a force at the net as she had a game-high five blocks.

Noles Sweep Past Canes in Coral Gables.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - The No. 18 Florida State volleyball team (10-2, 2-0) made quite the statement on Sunday afternoon as it swept (25-23, 25-16, 27-25) No. 25 Miami (9-4, 0-2) at the Knight Sports Complex in Coral Gables, Fla. FSU has now won six-consecutive matches against Miami which ties its longest win streak in the series. This was also just the second time FSU has swept a ranked opponent in a true road game. FSU swept No. 21 Texas A&M in College Station in 2014.

Per usual, the Noles and Hurricanes played a tight first set, but FSU was able to gain a little separation with a 5-1 run to take a 15-11 lead. The Hurricanes quickly responded to tie the set at 17. The teams traded points for the next 12 rallies, but with the set tied a 23, FSU got back-to-back kills from Audrey Koenig and Taylor Head to take the first set.

Set two got off to a hot start for the Noles, and they never looked back in a 25-16 win in set two. FSU scored the first five points in the set and jumped out to an 8-2 lead. Miami responded well and cut the lead to three at 11-8, but that was as close as they would come as the Noles continued to increase their lead to take a 2-0 lead in the match.

The Hurricanes controlled a lot of set three and held a 22-18 lead, but the Noles would not be denied as they went on a 5-1 run to tie the set a 23. The Noles fought off two set points and finally got to match point themselves at 26-25. Koenig put the pressure on with a great serve to force a free ball for the Noles, and Head put down the game's final kill to give the Noles their second win over Miami in five days.

Koenig was once again terrific for the Noles with 14 kills for her eighth-consecutive match with 10 or more kills. Khori Louis also recorded 10 kills on 19 attempts while adding a game-high five blocks. Kyleene Filimaua led the way defensively with 12 digs.

Seminoles Fall at Virginia.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - The No. 16 Florida State volleyball team (10-3, 2-1) suffered its first conference loss of the season on Friday against Virginia (12-2, 2-1) in three sets (22-25, 21-25, 22-25) in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The two teams played a back-and-forth first set, but the Seminoles were not able to find much rhythm on offense as they committed eight attack and service errors to allow the Cavaliers to hang around. Virginia took advantage and were able to put the Seminoles away with a 25-22 win in the first set.

Virginia used a quick spurt in the middle of the second set to pull away from the Noles at 20-16, and FSU was unable to mount a comeback as they fell 25-21.

FSU jumped out to a quick lead in set three, but Virginia responded with a 6-1 run to take a 14-10 lead. The Cavaliers kept the Noles at distance and led the set 24-19. FSU rallied and scored three consecutive points to cut the lead to two, but a service error ended the match.

FSU was unable to find any rhythm on offense the majority of the night as they hit just .174. Audrey Koenig led the way with 10 kills while Iane Henke was a nice bright spot with nine kills on 19 attempts. Koenig has now recorded 10 or more kills in her last 10 matches.

No. 16 Volleyball Dominates Hokies in Sweep.

BLACKSBURG, Va. - The No. 16 Florida State volleyball team (12-3, 3-1) dominated from start to finish on Sunday afternoon in a sweep (25-13, 25-13, 25-22) over Virginia Tech (6-8, 0-4) on Sunday afternoon at Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg, Va.

After a tight start to set one, FSU used a massive 11-1 run to take a commanding 21-11 lead. FSU closed out the 25-13 set victory thanks to a block from Khori Louis and Iane Henke. The Noles hit a season-high .667 in the set while holding the Hokies to a .000 hitting percentage.

The Seminoles picked up right where they left off as they jumped out to a 13-4 lead in set two. The Seminoles continued to role and led 22-9 and once again won the set 25-13.

FSU jumped out again in set three as it led 10-5, but the Hokies responded with four points to cut the lead to one. The Seminoles had another run of their own to take a 15-11 lead. The Hokies cut the lead to one at 16-15, but the Seminoles used a 6-3 run to create some space at 22-18. The Hokies would get within three at 23-20, but FSU closed out the match to pick up its third conference win of the season.

The Noles dominated in all facets of the match as they hit .356 while holding the Hokies to a .039 hitting percentage. Audrey Koenig recorded her 11th consecutive match with 10 or more kills as she had 11 kills on 22 attempts. Louis recorded nine kills on 13 attempts to go along with five blocks.

Noles Push No. 4 Louisville to the Limit, Fall in Five Sets.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 21 Florida State volleyball team (11-4, 3-2) gave the fourth-ranked Louisville Cardinals (13-2, 5-0) all they could handle in front of a capacity crowd at Tully gym as the Seminoles came just short of the upset in a five-set loss (25-16, 21-25, 21-25, 25-21, 9-15) on Friday night.

FSU came out on fire and gave the home crowd a lot to cheer about as the Cardinals had no answers for the Noles as they hit .417 in the first set. Audrey Koenig and Khori Louis led the way with four kills each in the first set. FSU used a 5-0 run in the middle of the set to run out to a 19-12 lead and extended the lead all the way to 23-14 and closed it out 25-16. FSU was the first ACC team to take a set from Cardinals all season.

FSU kept the momentum going in the early portions of set two as they jumped out to a 4-1 lead. Louisville stormed back and used a 11-2 run to take a 16-10 lead. FSU cut the lead to two at 19-17 thanks to back-to-back aces from Koenig, but that was as close as it would come as Louisville tied the match.

The Cardinals jumped out to a 9-5 lead early in set three, but the Noles continued to fight their way back and only trailed by one at 17-16. Louisville used a quick 5-1 run to extend the lead to the four and rolled to take a 2-1 set lead.

FSU was not going to go home quietly, and the two teams battled back and forth for the majority of the set. With the set tied at 19, Louisville served one into the net, and Maddie Snider recorded a solo block to send Tully Gym into a frenzy to force a timeout by the Cardinals. Koenig extend the lead to 23-20 and a couple of errors from the Cardinals gave the set to FSU to force a fifth set.

The teams traded points to start the fifth set, but with the set tied at five, Louisville used a quick 3-0 run to separate itself. The Noles got back within two at 11-9 thanks to another kill by Koenig, but Louisville scored the final four points to take the match.

Koenig was phenomenal for the Noles all night long as she recorded 22 kills on 47 attempts for a .340 hitting percentage. Taylor Head tied her season high of 15 kills while also recording 12 digs. Louis was the third Nole in double figures as she recorded 10 kills for the Noles.

Koenig and Head Lead Noles Past Notre Dame.

By Hunter Gold

TALLAHASSEE - The No. 21 Florida State volleyball team (12-4, 4-2) delivered an impressive performance against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (9-6, 2-3), winning in four sets (25-23, 22-25, 25-18, 25-16) in front of a lively crowd at Tully Gym.

FSU came out strong in the first set, showcasing their energy and determination. The Noles trailed for the majority of the set, but was able to tie the match at 20 and scored four out of the next five points to reach set point. Notre Dame fought off two set points, but a block from Khori Louis and Audrey Koenig ended the set.

The second set saw a shift in momentum. FSU started strong but couldn't maintain their lead as Notre Dame capitalized on errors. The Fighting Irish managed to pull ahead and took the set 25-22, tying the match at one set apiece.

However, FSU quickly regained control in the third set. With a powerful offense and solid defense, the Seminoles dominated, winning 25-18. They continued their strong play into the fourth set, where they finished off Notre Dame decisively with a score of 25-16.

Koenig was the standout performer for the Seminoles, finishing with 16 kills and 13 digs. Taylor Head contributed significantly as well, adding 11 kills and a season-high 23 digs. Maddie Snider and Khori Louis also played pivotal roles, each registering seven kills and providing valuable support on both offense and defense.

Noles Rally to Take Down Boston College in Five Sets.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - The No. 19 Florida State volleyball team (13-4, 5-2) rallied late in sets four and five to defeat Boston College (8-11, 1-6) in five sets (25-19, 15-25, 22-25, 25-22, 15-11) on Friday night in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. FSU improved to 25-3 all-time against the Eagles.

The Noles got off to a good start thanks to an excellent set from Taylor Head. The Noles jumped out to an 11-7 lead, but the Eagles battled back to tie the set at 14. FSU then went on a 7-3 run to lead 21-17 and were able to close out the set with a 25-19. Head was phenomenal in the first set with six kills to lead the Noles.

The Eagles took all the momentum in set two and cruised to a 25-15 win to tie the match. The Eagles controlled most of set three and led 23-17, but the Noles went on a 5-0 run to cut the lead to one. The Eagles responded and were able to take the final two points to take a 2-1 lead in the match.

The Noles got off to a good start in set four as Audrey Koenig began to take over the match to help the Noles to a 12-7 lead. The Eagles went on a 10-1 run to take a 17-13 lead. The Noles battled back to tie the set at 19, and Head's ace gave the Noles the lead. The two teams traded points, but FSU scored the final three points capped off with a Koenig ace to send the match to a deciding fifth set.

The Eagles had the advantage early and had an 8-5 lead as the teams switched sides of the court. It became the Audrey Koenig show as she put down back-to-back-to-back kills to give the Noles a 9-8 lead. The teams traded points with the Eagles taking a 11-10 lead, but the Noles finished the match on a 5-0 run to get out of Chestnut Hill with a win and avoid the upset.

Head had her best match as a Seminole as she recorded a season-high 18 kills while also adding 13 digs. Koenig had her 14th consecutive double digit kill match with 17 kills to go along with 11 digs. Iane Henke also contributed a season-high 11 kills.

Noles Cruise to Sweep Over Syracuse.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - There was little drama on Sunday afternoon as the No. 19 Florida State volleyball team (14-4, 6-2) cruised to a sweep (25-15, 25-22, 25-14) over Syracuse (12-8, 0-8) on Sunday afternoon at the Women's Building in Syracuse, New York.

The Noles controlled the first set from start to finish as they never surrendered the lead as they ran away with the set by a score of 25-15. The Noles hit .379 while holding Syracuse to a .071 hitting percentage.

The second set was much closer as they team traded runs in the early part of the set, but FSU ultimately led 15-11 at the halfway point. The Orange slowly chipped away at the Seminoles' lead and eventually took a 21-20 lead. Khori Louis responded with a kill and a block to give the Noles the lead, and FSU used a 3-0 run to take a 2-0 lead in the match.

The Orange looked to have some momentum in the third set as they jumped out to a 4-1 lead, but FSU used an 8-1 run to take the momentum back. The Noles never let the Orange come within three points as they rolled to a 25-14 match-clinching victory.

Louis returned to her efficient ways as she had a game-high 14 kills on 23 attempts while also adding four blocks. Audrey Koenig reached double digit kills for the 15th consecutive match while also leading the team with 11 digs.

Noles Fall in Five Sets at No. 25 North Carolina.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The No. 19 Florida State volleyball team (14-5, 6-3) fell in a five-set heartbreaker (25-19, 22-25, 25-22, 32-34, 9-15) to No. 25 North Carolina (16-2, 8-1) on Friday night at Carmichael Arena in Chapel Hill, N.C.

The Noles got off to a great start in set one as the jumped out to an 11-5 lead, but the Tar Heels stormed back to tie the set at 13. The Noles were able to gradually increase their lead to 21-17, and Audrey Koenig finished off the set to give the Noles a 1-0 lead in the match.

The roles were reversed in set two as North Carolina was the one to jump out to an early lead as they led 12-6, but FSU slowly chipped away and tied the set at 17 thanks to a kill from Taylor Head. The Tar Heels created a little separation with a 21-19 lead, but a service error then an ace from Emery Dupes tied the set at 21. The Tar Heels closed the set on a 4-1 run to take the set.

Set three stayed close for the first half of the set until the Noles were able to create some separation to become the first team to 20 with a 20-16 lead. The Tar Heels closed the gap to one at 21-20, a couple of kills from Koenig and Iane Henke and two Tar Heel errors helped the Noles take a 2-1 lead in the match.

Set four was an all-time classic as the teams went back and forth for the entire set. The teams continued to trade points, but it was the Tar Heels who prevailed with a 34-32 win to send the match to five sets for the sixth time in the last eight meetings between the two teams.

UNC used the momentum from the fourth set and jumped out to a 9-3 lead in set five, and the Noles were unable to get anything going as they fell 15-9 in the final set.

Koenig, Head and Khori Louis were all phenomenal for the Noles as they combined for 58 out of the Seminoles 66 kills in the match. Koenig led the way with 22 kills for her 16th consecutive match with 10 or more kills. Louis added 19 kills which was one kill short of her career high. Head added 17 kills and 15 digs for her fourth double double in the past five games. Koenig recorded a double double with 10 digs along with Loren Robertson who had 31 assists and 12 digs.

Noles Cruise Past Duke in Durham.

DURHAM, N.C. - The No. 19 Florida State volleyball team (15-5, 7-3) bounced back in a big way on Sunday afternoon as they put together one of its most complete performances of the year in a sweep (25-14, 25-11, 25-13) over Duke (8-13, 4-6) at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, N.C. on Sunday afternoon. FSU has now won 12 consecutive matches over the Blue Devils dating back to 2015. The Noles became just the third team this season to sweep Duke in Durham.

There was very little drama from start to finish on Sunday afternoon as the Noles jumped out to an early 6-2 lead in set one. Duke scored five out of the next seven points, but the Noles responded with a 12-2 run to put the set out of reach as they cruised to a 25-14 victory.

The two teams went back and forth early in set two, but the Noles used a huge run again in the middle of the set to take a 20-8 lead and went on to win the set 25-11 and take a 2-0 lead in the match.

The Noles found themselves in a 5-1 hole early in set three but quickly erased the deficit with a 15-2 run to flip the script and take a 16-7 lead. The Noles went on to close out the match with a 25-13 win in set three.

FSU's defense was phenomenal as they forced 23 errors by the Blue Devils and held Duke to just 22 kills. It was the first time that FSU has held a team to a negative hitting percentage since Feb. 26, 2020, against Troy.

On the offensive side, the Noles hit .353 and were led by Audrey Koenig and Taylor Head who recorded 12 and 11 kills, respectively. Head recorded her fifth double double in the last six games as she had a game-high 15 digs to go along with her 11 kills. Koenig has now recorded 10 or more kills in 17 consecutive games which is the longest streak of her career. Kenna Phelan led the way with 20 assists.

Noles Sweep Past Cal in First-Ever ACC Meeting.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 23 Florida State volleyball team (16-5, 8-3) took on one of its newest ACC opponents, the California Golden Bears (10-13, 2-9) at Tully Gym. The Noles began their ACC series history against Cal with a complete sweep (25-23, 25-19, 25-18) on Friday night.

During a dramatic first set, both teams went back and forth on points, neither able to find a rhythm. With Cal leading 23-21, the Noles successfully put together four consecutive points capped off with a big block Kelsey Perry and Iane Henke to close the first set with a narrow win.

Set two began with the Noles jumping ahead 6-1 after winning the first serve. Florida State increased its lead to 19-9 and was able to take 2-0 lead in the match with a 25-19 win.

The Noles got off to another hot start in set three as they jumped out to a 6-1 lead. The Bears cut the lead to two on two separate occasions, but the Noles increased the lead to 20-12 and cruised to a 25-18 set three victory to take the match.

Offensively the Noles were spectacular as they hit .406 which was their second-highest hitting percentage of the season. Kyleene Filimaua led the way as she tied her career high with 14 kills on 21 swings while adding three blocks. Audrey Koenig picked up her 18th-consecutive match with 10 or more kills as she notched 11 kills on 20 attempts for a season-high .500 hitting percentage. Taylor Head continued her solid play as she notched her sixth double digit kill match in her last seven matches with 11 kills.

Noles Fall to No. 5 Stanford.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 23 Florida State volleyball team (16-6, 8-4) fell to No. 5 Stanford (17-4, 9-3) in four sets (25-20, 16-25, 10-25, 22-25) on Sunday afternoon in Tully Gym. Sunday marked the first match between the Seminoles and the Cardinal in ACC play and second match in program history.

In an intense first set, the Seminoles and the Cardinal tied nine times, while only experiencing two lead changes. As the set winded down, Florida State went on a 3-0 scoring run highlighted by two kills from Taylor Head and an ace from Audrey Koenig to give FSU the set, 25-20.

The second set began tightly contested with FSU and Stanford going point for point. Stanford began to turn the tide midway through the set before pulling away and tying the match with a 25-16 victory. The third set was dominated by the Cardinal as they won 25-10.

The final set of the match was highly competitive, as the lead changed five times and the two tying 12. However, the Stanford offense willed the Cardinal to a 25-22 victory.

Offensively, the Seminoles attacked at a .254 clip and tallied 45 kills. Audrey Koenig led the offensive effort with 12 kills and one ace, followed closely by Taylor Head with 11 kills and seven digs. Loren Robertson accumulated 19 assists and six digs.

Koenig's Historic Night Leads Noles Past Wake Forest.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - 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.

Noles Take Down NC State with Balanced Attack and Strong Defense.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 24 Florida State volleyball team (18-6, 10-4) demonstrated determination and skill in a hard-fought four-set victory (26-24, 25-16, 19-25, 25-23) over the NC State Wolfpack (12-10, 7-7) at home on Sunday afternoon. This win marks FSU's 10th conference victory of the season and improved to 38-3 over NC State since 2000.

The opening set was a back-and-forth battle, with both teams exchanging points early on. Florida State gained an early advantage with a 5-1 run to take a 10-6 lead, but the Wolfpack quickly closed the gap, rallying to tie the score at 16. The Seminoles answered with a 3-0 run, putting them ahead 19-16, but NC State fought back, tying the score again at 21. The teams went back and forth until Khori Louis and Taylor Head combined for the block to give the Noles a 26-24 win in the first set.

Riding the momentum from their set-one win, the Seminoles came out strong in the second set, jumping to an early 12-6 lead. FSU continued to dominate and used a balanced and efficient offensive attack to run away with the set 25-16.

NC State found their rhythm in the third set, but the Seminoles continued to put up a strong battle. The set remained close, with neither team leading by more than three points until the Wolfpack went on a decisive 7-1 run, ultimately taking the set 25-19.

The back-and-forth pattern continued in the fourth set with both teams exchanging points in the early plays. The lead constantly shifted, with neither team able to pull away. With the set tied at 23, Iane Henke put down a kill to give the Noles match point then combined with Kelsey Perry for the block to end the match.

Audrey Koenig continued to shine with 12 kills and 10 digs to extend her double digit kill streak to 21 matches. Head was very impressive with 12 kills and 22 digs to earn her sixth double double in her last 10 matches. Emery Dupes and Kyleene Filimaua each recorded 10 digs for the Noles as well.

Noles Come Up Short at No. 10 SMU.

DALLAS, Texas - The Florida State volleyball team (18-8, 10-6) fell to No. 10 SMU (21-6, 13-3) in three sets (16-25, 28-30, 16-25) on Sunday afternoon.

Taylor Head got off to a good start for the Noles in set one as the teams traded points throughout the first half of the set. SMU got hot in the middle of the set and finished the set with a 13-3 run to take the first set 25-16.

Set two was very competitive from start to finish as no team led by more than three in the entire set. FSU had its chances as they were up 22-19, but SMU fought back to tie it at 23. A kill from Head gave the Noles set point but was unable to convert as SMU tied it at 24. FSU was unable to capitalize on its next four set points as SMU took set two 30-28.

FSU had an early lead in set three, but SMU used a 9-2 run to take set three and the match.

Head and Audrey Koenig led the Noles with 10 kills each.
