BOX SCORE
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (Seminoles.com) – A strong defensive effort by rival Miami was too much for Florida State Volleyball as it fell to the Hurricanes, 3-1 (27-25, 21-25, 22-25, 11-25), on Wednesday night at the James L. Knight Sports Complex.
The Hurricanes (13-2, 4-1) recorded 85 digs in the four-set match, getting under much of the Seminoles’ (10-4, 3-2) attack throughout the night. FSU was also hurt by its 29 attack errors while Miami limited itself to just 13.
“We had some disappointing play on the road,” FSU Head Coach Chris Poole said. “We had 58 errors on our side of the net in a four-set match. That is not normal for our team. Miami played great and deserved the win. We need to learn from this experience.”
Florida State’s offense came largely through its middle blockers, as junior Emma Clothier led FSU with 13 kills and reigning ACC Freshman of the Week Khori Louis recorded 11 kills and a .348 hitting percentage.
