Volleyball ACCtion: Thursday, November 20
Nov. 20, 2008
Seminole Volleyball Sweeps Wolfpack On The Road RALEIGH, N.C. - In the 39th meeting between the two teams on Thursday night inside Reynolds Coliseum, Florida State swept NC State 3-0 (25-18, 25-19, 25-18) to extend the winning streak to 19-straight matches. The Seminoles, now 20-8 overall and 12-6 in the ACC, have given up just five sets in those 19 victories over the Wolfpack (9-24, 3-15). "Overall I'm very pleased with the hitting tonight," Florida State head coach Chris Poole said. "Our hitting percentage was very good in that match. I felt like our serving and passing was a little off and that was a little disappointing. We're going to have to serve and pass better tomorrow night if we're going to have a chance to beat North Carolina on the road."
Carolina Wins Showdown Against Miami CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The North Carolina volleyball team moved one step closer to the ACC Championship Thursday night in Chapel Hill as the Tar Heels claimed a 3-1 (25-23, 23-25, 25-21, 25-16) win over second place Miami (24-6, 12-6 ACC) to pull within one win of their first ACC title since 2005. Suzanne Haydel and Ingrid Hanson-Tuntland tallied 15 kills apiece in leading Carolina (20-9, 14-4 ACC) to its first 20-win season since 2005. The Tar Heels will look to claim a share of the ACC title on Friday when they host Florida State on senior night. Ingrid Hanson-Tuntland imposed herself on the match right away as she delivered seven first set kills in leading Carolina to a tight 25-23 win. The Tar Heels hit .271 in the opening set as the lead changed hands four times and was tied on 12 occasions, including at 23-23 before Haydel and Heather Brooks delivered back-to-back kills to take the opening set 25-23. The first set was the epitome of a close battle as neither team held more than a two-point advantage throughout and came down to the bitter end. The Tar Heels hit .271 in the win, while holding Miami to a .149 mark.
Wake Forest Surges Past Virginia Tech In Four WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - In what was an up-and-down affair, Wake Forest used a pair of late-set rallies to defeat the visiting Virginia Tech Hokies 3-1 Thursday night in Reynolds Gym. The win (25-18, 18-25, 25-16, 25-23) pulls the Demon Deacons back to .500 in the ACC at 9-9 and improves their overall record to 18-12, which is the most wins since 2003 when Wake went 21-10.
