10/13/2023 10:45:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Seminoles.com) – The Florida State volleyball team fell to 6-1 in ACC play, losing to #11 Georgia Tech (15-2, 6-1), 3-2 (25-21, 23-25, 25-18, 18-25, 14-16) in their fourth-straight five-set match on Friday night in O'Keefe Gymnasium.
The Seminoles attacked at a .251 clip, with the offensive effort being led by junior middle blocker Kiari Robey who finished with a .435 hitting percentage and 11 kills. Audrey Koenig also contributed 13 kills, and Audrey Rothman produced 10.
The Seminoles played stellar defense all night, recording 72 total digs and 12 blocks. Freshman outside hitter Kyleene Filimaua led the team with 15 digs, and Robey led in blocks, recording six. Khori Louis and Sydney Conley added on five blocks as well.
The Noles came out hot, claiming the first set 25-21 as they capitalized on the Yellow Jacket's poor serving. The second set came down to the wire as Georgia Tech won it 25-23, but the third set was all FSU. The Seminoles won Set 3 with ease, finishing 25-18 and taking a 2-1 advantage over the Yellow Jackets.
The fourth set, however, would turn the tide for Georgia Tech, as junior outside hitter Bianca Bertolino recorded eight kills in 25-18 victory for the Jackets. The fifth and final set was a chippy one, with Georgia Tech taking it and the match 16-14 after many challenges and lead-changing decisions. FSU had match point serving at 14-13 before Georgia Tech rallied.
Florida State will go to Clemson, South Carolina, where they will play the Tigers on Sunday afternoon in Jervey Gym at 1 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ACCNX.
