Volleyball Sweeps Wake Forest; Goes 2-0 on ACC Opening Weekend
9/24/2023 3:09:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Seminoles.com) – Florida State Volleyball played one of its most complete matches of the season on Sunday, sweeping a talented Wake Forest team, 3-0 (25-21, 25-18, 25-12), at Reynolds Gym in Winston-Salem, N.C.
The Seminoles (8-6, 2-0) earned their seventh sweep of the season as they hit .371 in the match, sparked by emphatic second and third sets where they pulled away early from the Demon Deacons (10-3, 1-1). Junior middle blocker Kiari Robey closed out her outstanding weekend with 10 kills in 14 swings for a .571 hitting percentage and six blocks.
Junior outside hitter Audrey Koenig was equally as efficient, getting 10 kills, hitting .375 and adding six blocks of her own. For the second straight match, FSU produced double-digit block totals as it batted away 10 on Sunday after recording a season-high 15 in Friday's win at Virginia Tech.
The Seminoles had a strong serve-receive performance, getting 13 digs from graduate setter Jelli Draskovic who also had 16 assists for a double-double. Freshman setter Kenna Phelan added 17 assists in the win.
Junior middle blocker Khori Louis added six kills and four blocks, while junior right-side Skye Ekes had five kills of her own. Ekes ended the match with a cross-court kill in the third set.
FSU played one of its best sets of the season in set two, hitting .406 and winning convincingly at 25-18. A kill by Louis midway through the set gave FSU a commanding 16-7 lead, and it used another 5-0 run to go up 21-9 in a stretch that was punctuated by a block from Koenig and Robey. The set ended on a kill from Louis to put FSU up 2-0 in the match.
FSU would finish the sweep with a dominant third set.
Florida State returns home to Tully Gym for a two-match swing beginning this Friday vs. North Carolina at 6:30 p.m. The Seminoles then wrap up the home weekend hosting Duke at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
