TALLAHASSEE – The Florida State beach volleyball team continued their strong performance in the 2026 FSU Unconquered Invitational, winning both matches against North Alabama and Southeastern Louisiana. The Seminoles are 25 for 25 in dual points won, needing less than 50 sets to secure the sweeps.
FSU took on UNA in their first match of the day, mixing some pairs on the lower courts. Court five featured last year's All-American freshman Bailey Higgins alongside seasoned veteran Maddie Trusty. They finished sets one and two quickly, ending the first at 21-14 and the second at 21-13.
It was Jess Horwath and Myriah Massey who earned the first of five dual points against North Alabama, with Massey digging multiple hard swings from the Lions to keep the rally going. Set one ended 21-18. They commanded a strong five point plus lead for most of set two, closing the battle 21-12.
To finish day two of the tournament, the Seminoles faced SELU with almost entirely new pairings. Freshman Julia Tennoy and Jordan Boulware took court one and secured Tennoy's first win with Florida State. Southeastern Louisiana kept it close on court five, where Higgins and freshman Elena Lam had to put together multiple side court shots to finally close a forced set three 15-7.
Florida State ended day two having won every first set played thus far.
The FSU Unconquered Invitational concludes tomorrow with the Noles taking on Southeastern Louisiana at 9 a.m. EST. Live stats can be found on VolleyballLife.com.
