It’s Saturday, Florida State fans. That obviously means that the Seminoles will back in action on the gridiron against North Carolina at Doak Campbell Stadium. That won’t be the only FSU athletic program in action however, and four others participated on Friday. The news and notes section will be updated throughout the day.

Milica Kubura and Christian Ambrose led FSU with 16 and 12 kills, respectively. Cecilie Woie led the team with 14 digs. Aliah Bowllan had 14 digs to lead the Orange.

In addition to the FSU volleyball victory, FSU women’s tennis had a strong showing at the Bedford Cup in Tampa. At the Notre Dame Invitational in South Bend, both Florida State’s men’s and women’s cross country teams had a day to forget.
