FSU Beats UNC, Ties Record
The No. 17 Florida State volleyball tied the school record for consecutive conference wins with its 3-1 (25-18, 23-25, 25-19, 25-15) victory over North Carolina at home on Sunday.

With seven consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference wins, the Seminoles (19-2, 10-1 ACC) matched the best-ever league winning streak in program history set by the 1992 and '98 teams.

Sunday's match against the Tar Heels (11-10, 7-3) had its share of ups and downs but FSU head coach Chris Poole was pleased with an end result that kept his Seminoles at first place in the ACC.

Hurricanes Volleyball Handles Wolfpack, 3-0
Christine Williamson and Lici McGee combined for 27 kills in helping lead the University of Miami past visiting NC State, 3-0 (25-18, 25-16, 25-20), Sunday afternoon in an ACC volleyball match-up inside the James L. Knight Sports Complex in Coral Gables, Fla.

Miami (13-8, 6-5 ACC) set the tone early in the first set as to whom would be the "go-to" players on the day. Sophomore Christine Williamson and junior Lici McGee stepped up for the `Canes in a key 5-1 UM run that pushed the `Canes out in front, 15-11.

McGee collected six kills in the first set while teammate Williamsons added five in helping lead UM to a 25-18 opening set victory.

Terps Upset Hokies in Five Sets
Trailing two sets to one and down four points to Virginia Tech in the late stages of the fourth set, the University of Maryland volleyball team was on the brink of dropping its sixth straight match of the season. However, Taylor Jones brought the team back on the strength of her serve and Maddi Lee caught fire late to rally the Terps to a 3-2 victory Sunday afternoon at Comcast Pavilion.

Lee led Maryland with 14 kills, including the final two of the fourth set and first four of the fifth set to lead the Terps (11-13, 3-8 ACC) against the Hokies (16-6, 6-5 ACC). Maryland won by scores of 18-25, 25-15, 16-25, 25-23 and 15-13 to snap Virginia Tech's five-match winning streak.

Virginia Tech appeared on the verge of winning the match, holding a 22-18 lead in the fourth set. A pair of errors and a Remy McBain kill brought Maryland within one, forcing a Hokie timeout. The Hokies scored out of the timeout to cut the lead 23-21 and put the Terps on their heels.
