Florida State holds a 2-0 all-time record against Kansas, with the most recent matchup coming in the first round of the 2021 NCAA Tournament where the Seminoles swept the Jayhawks, 3-0. The teams first met in 2007 at the Spartan Invitational in East Lansing, Michigan, where FSU claimed a 3-1 victory.

Preseason All-ACC senior outside hitter Kyleene Filimaua led the Seminoles offensively with 51 points, 41 kills and eight aces. Filimaua also surpassed Hailey Luke (2013-16) for the most career service attempts in program history, reaching 1,403 during Saturday's match against VCU.
Florida State was also led by junior middle blocker Delaney Ewing and freshman outside hitter Sofia Moss, who were both named to the FGCU Invitational All-Tournament Team.
