It’s Easter weekend, Florida State fans. While you’re enjoying a weekend with your family, keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section will be updated throughout the day.
Lead Story
In a match-up of top 5 beach volleyball teams in Tallahassee on Friday, No. 4 Florida State won the final two matches to down second-ranked Pepperdine, 3-2.
Pepperdine led 2-1 and needed to win the decisive set on either Court 1 or 2 to take the match, but that did not happen. Vanessa Freire and Francesca Goncalves evened things up for FSU by taking the match on Court 2, 21-16, 19-21, 15-11. The combination of Leigh Andrew and Brooke Kuhlman defeated Pepperdine’s Delany Knudsen and Madalyn Roh, 21-19, 16-21, 15-13 to clinch the duel.
FSU returns to action on Saturday with contests against Grand Canyon, Florida International and again, Pepperdine.
