BOX SCORE
Tallahassee, Fla. – The NC State volleyball team lost to Florida State, 3-0, on Saturday, Oct. 7, in Tallahassee, Fla. The Seminoles produced a .472 hitting percentage across the three games, compared to the Pack’s -.011 performance. With the loss, NC State drops to 2-14 (0-7 ACC), while Florida State improves to 12-4 (6-1 ACC).
The Pack started off slow, failing to mount a challenge to the Seminoles in the first game and ultimately falling, 30-5. Three of NC State’s five points came off of FSU errors, with Keshia Raibon and Jessica Williams each adding one kill.
The red and white offered a much stronger performance in game two, despite losing 30-20. Taking the court with a different lineup than at the start of the first game, the visiting Pack posted a .111 hitting percentage, vastly improved from its -.227 effort in game one. NC State grabbed three of the first four points coming out of the gate, but Florida State took the lead at 8-7 on a kill by Malorie Wessel and controlled play the rest of the way.
The Noles seemed poised to breeze through the third and final game after starting off with a 7-1 run, but the Pack tied the game on a six-point rally sparked by a Raibon kill. Both teams traded blows and exchanged control, with neither squad leading by more than two points, until FSU took a 22-19 advantage on a Williams attack error. Shortly following a Wolfpack timeout, the Noles grabbed four consecutive points to mount a 25-20 lead. The Pack grabbed one final point on a Williams kill, but the Noles took the contest, 30-21.
Raibon led the Pack in the kill department, drilling seven, while Williams and Chrissy Zirpolo each posted four.
NC State will take to the road again next weekend, continuing ACC play at Clemson and Georgia Tech. The Pack will challenge the Tigers on Friday, Oct. 13, at 7 p.m. in Clemson, S.C., before battling the Yellow Jackets on Saturday, Oct. 14, at 7 p.m. in Atlanta, Ga.
