Seminoles Down Duke in Four Sets
11/23/2025 4:26:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
TALLAHASSEE - The Florida State volleyball team (16-11, 10-8) took down Duke (5-24, 2-16) in four sets (22-25, 25-18, 25-18, 25-23) on Sunday afternoon at Tully Gym.Â
The Noles got great production from the middle attack as Delaney Ewing and Nenu Kpea combined for 20 kills on 32 attempts while also teaming up for 10 blocks. FSU recorded a team-high 15 blocks while holding Duke to just a .167 hitting percentage.Â
Iane Henke led the way offensively with 16 kills while Kyleene Filimaua picked up her third double double in her last four matches with 12 kills and 16 digs. Lily Nicholson also recorded a double double with 21 assists and 16 digs.Â
The Noles jumped out to an early 4-1 lead in set one, but the teams settled in and neither team was able to take a lead of more than three. Tied at 21, Duke took the next three points and eventually took the first set 25-22.Â
The second set was all Garnet and Gold as the Noles raced out a 17-9 lead and never looked back as they won 25-18. FSU held Duke to just a .086 hitting percentage with four blocks in the set.Â
The teams traded points to begin set three, but a couple of errors from Duke, a solo block from Henke and a kill from Filimaua gave the Noles a 14-9 lead. The Noles extended the lead to 18-12 and went on to win the set 25-18 to take the lead in the match.Â
The Noles looked to be cruising to fourth set win as the Noles led 18-15, but three consecutive aces gave Duke life and a 19-18 lead. The teams traded points, but back-to-back overpass kills from Henke and Kpea gave the Noles a 23-22 lead. Mio Yamamoto recorded a clutch ace to give the Noles match point, and Henke added one more kill to put the match away.Â
The Noles will conclude the regular season next week with a match on Wednesday at 1 p.m. against No. 8 SMU in Dallas before returning home for the regular season finale against Clemson on Friday at 2 p.m. Both matches can be seen on ACCNX.
