TALLAHASSEE – The No. 4 Florida State beach volleyball team defeated No. 15 FAU and FGCU on Tuesday in Boca Raton as part of the FAU Tournament. The Seminoles advance to 13-0 this season, their best start since 2021 where they appeared in the NCAA Tournament semifinal.
The Noles started the day with a 5-0 victory over the Owls, with all five pairs winning their respective courts 2-0. Raelyn White and Audrey Koenig put on a clinic, holding the Owls to just 10 points in the first set. Koenig and White then finished the duel with a 21-15 victory in the second set.
The Seminoles then faced FGCU, which was a continuation of their dominance. Though All-American Maddie Anderson and Skyler Germann were absent, FSU still completed the 5-0 sweep. Redshirt sophomores Makenna Wolfe and Madison Binkley stepped into court five where they defeated the Eagles by six points in both sets.
Florida State will travel to Manhattan Beach, California this weekend to participate in the East vs. West Tournament.
