NASHVILLE – The Florida State volleyball team (3-2) fell 3-1 to Lipscomb (3-1) on Saturday evening at Allen Arena in Nashville.
Junior middle blocker Delaney Ewing led the Seminoles with 12 kills while posting a match-high .429 hitting percentage and adding three blocks. Senior outside hitter Kyleene Filimaua recorded her second consecutive double-double, finishing with 11 kills and 15 digs.
Sophomore middle blocker Nenu Kpea led all players with four blocks, while junior libero Maile Chan recorded a career-high 18 digs to lead all players.
The Seminoles dropped the opening set for the first time this season, falling behind 11-5 before calling their first timeout. Trailing 19-14 FSU used a 4-1 run to cut the deficit to two before eventually tying the set at 23-23. A service error from FSU and a kill from the Bisons closed out the set, 25-23.
Florida State responded in dominant fashion in the second set, jumping out to a 10-3 lead and forcing a Lipscomb timeout. The Seminoles maintained control throughout the set, never allowing the Bisons to get within six points before closing it out 25-13 to even the match.
Lipscomb opened the third set with a 10-7 advantage, but the Seminoles battled back to tie the set at 11-11 following an FSU timeout. The Bisons held a one-point lead at the media timeout before using a 10-4 run to pull away and take the set 25-18, giving Lipscomb a 2-1 match lead.
Florida State controlled the early portion of the fourth set, holding the lead throughout the first half and taking a 15-9 advantage into the media timeout. With the Seminoles leading 21-17, Lipscomb rallied with four straight points to even the set at 21-21. FSU regained the lead at 22-21, but the Bisons closed the match with a 4-1 run to take the set 25-23 and secure the 3-1 victory.
