Recap
Watch Out For: Read has continued to be UNF's most consistent offensive threat. In fact, she has become more dangerous as the season grows older. In the Lady Ospreys' last three matches, Read has averaged 4.73 kills per set along with a .310 hitting percentage. She is just as impressive on defense, leading the team with 3.82 digs per set and nine blocks during that stretch.
Notables: Junior Agata Dawidowicz ranked No. 1 in the nation in aces per set (0.87) this week for the fifth-straight time ... Read is No. 3 in the A-Sun with 3.56 kills per set ... she is also ninth-best in hitting percentage (.279) and fourth best in blocks (0.90/set) ... the Lady Ospreys are 3-2 at home ... Seattle is the second team in two years from the state of Washington to visit UNF Arena (then-No. 8 Washington defeated the Lady Ospreys last season 3- 0) ... sophomore Madie Belvin is third in the A- Sun with 9.22 assists in conference matches ... her 59 assists against Stetson is the most anyone in the A-Sun has recorded this season in a four-set match.
