CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The Florida State volleyball team (15-8, 7-5) fell to Boston College (16-10, 4-8) in four sets (17-25, 25-23, 20-25, 21-25) Sunday afternoon in Chestnut Hill, Mass.
The Eagles came out firing in the first set, hitting .406 and tallying 16 kills while also adding four aces on its way to a first-set victory.
The Noles responded in set two taking a 5-4 lead and never giving that lead up. The Noles fought off a late rally and a big block by Emily Ryan and Emma Clothier ended the set.
The Eagles were once again in control in the third set and kept the Noles at distance to win a pivotal third set 25-20.
Set four proved to be the most competitive set of the afternoon. The Eagles held a 15-12 advantage before the Noles tallied three-straight points to tie the set at 15. The Noles looked to keep the momentum going taking a 17-16 lead, but an inadvertent whistle took the point back. The Eagles went on a 4-0 run from that point to take a commanding lead and held on to take the match.
Audrey Koenig led the Noles with nine kills while Khori Louis added eight kills. Clothier played in her 100th consecutive match on Sunday and added eight kills for FSU.
The Noles will return home to take on Clemson on Friday night at 8 p.m. on the ACC Network. This will serve as senior night.
