It’s the weekend, Florida State fans, but unfortunately there is no football game to watch where the Seminoles are playing. Still, Friday was a good day for FSU athletics and Saturday could be as well. The news and notes section of this post will be updated throughout the day.

Lead Story

During the ITA Southeast Regionals in Gainesville on Friday, the FSU women’s tennis team went a perfect 5-0 in singles play. Nandini Das, Ariana Rahmanparast, Andrea Garcia, Julia Mikulski and Daniela Schippers all posted victories.

Those who won matches on Friday will qualify for the 2016 USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships in Flushing Meadows, New York in early November. The Seminoles went just 2-3 in doubles play on Friday.

Between the Lines

The FSU men’s tennis team hosted the ITA Southeast Regionals on Friday. FSU volleyball defeated Virginia in straight sets, 27-25, 25-22, 25-16 on Friday night in Charlottesville. Katie Horton posted a double-double for the Seminoles with 11 kills and 15 digs.

On the Agenda

Both the FSU men’s and women’s tennis teams will be in action in the ITA Southeast Regionals on Saturday. The men’s team will compete in Tallahassee; the women’s team will compete in Gainesville. FSU will take on Florida in a softball exhibition in Fort Lauderdale as part of the Rising Stars Tournament.

News and Notes
