TALLAHASSEE, Fla (Seminoles.com) – The Florida State volleyball team swept North Texas (4-5) in dominant fashion (25-19, 25-20, 25-16) on Friday night in Orlando, Fla., as part of the UCF Invitational. This win marked head coach Chris Poole's 900th career victory, making him only the eighth Division I head coach ever to reach that milestone.
The Seminoles (5-3) had a very strong offensive showing, attacking with a .396 hitting percentage, and combining for 46 kills on only eight attack errors. The offensive effort was led by junior outside hitter Audrey Koenig, who registered nine kills, and by junior middle blocker Kiari Robey who finished with eight kills and a hitting percentage of .615. Sydney Conley also added eight kills to go along with Khori Louis and Maddie Snider's kills each.
The offense was paired with great passing, as graduate setter Jelli Draskovic matched her season high of 20 assists, while freshman setter Kenna Phelan contributed 16 assists.
The Seminoles played lockdown defense tonight, only allowing 55 total points scored over three sets. Audrey Koenig, Sydney Conley, Kiari Robey, and Khori Louis each had a solo block, while freshman outside hitter Kyleene Filimaua recorded 15 digs and almost matched her season high.
The match was highlighted by an exciting, back-and-forth second set which was ultimately decided by the Seminoles. The Seminoles attacked at a .444 clip, and 14 kills alone.
The Seminoles are back in action on Tuesday evening when they play the Florida Gators in Tallahassee at 6 p.m. in Tully Gym.
