TALLAHASSEE – The No. 4 Florida State beach volleyball team defeated South Carolina 3-0 to win the CCSA Championship on Saturday. This marks the seventh CCSA championship in program history.
Freshman Kaileigh Truslow, sophomore Alexis Durish, juniors Raelyn White and Audrey Koenig, senior Caitlin Moon, and graduate student Maddie Anderson were awarded with All-Tournament Team honors after winning their respective courts during the championship match.
Koenig and White opened the match with a 21-14, 21-13 victory on court three. Moon and Truslow fought in a scrappy battle on court five, winning a back-and-forth second set to give the Noles a 2-0 advantage. Anderson and Durish dropped the first set on court one but fought back and forced a third. The tiebreaker began as a point-for-point affair before the Seminoles pulled away to win the set 15-10.
The Seminoles have won all seven CCSA championship matches that they've appeared in and have won seven of the last eight titles. Florida State will now shift its focus to the NCAA Tournament. The bracket for this year's tournament will be announced Sunday at 11:00 a.m. on NCAA.com. The tournament will get underway May 3-5 in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
