North Florida Falls to Belmont

BOX SCORE

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The University of North Florida volleyball team fell to Belmont, 3-1 (20-25, 20-25, 25-20, 8-25) on Saturday in Atlantic Sun conference action in the Curb Center in Nashville, Tenn.

 

Leading the Ospreys (4-5, 0-2 A-Sun) was junior middle blocker Kaley Read with 11 kills and nine digs. Junior outside hitter Nallelis Sanfeliz added eight kills. Sophomore setter Julie Fye posted 31 assists.

 

For the Bruins (4-7, 2-1 A-Sun) Carly Frazier had 11 kills while Megan Clements tallied a game-high 23 digs. Channing Salava notched 35 assists.

 

In the first set North Florida took an early lead, going up 10-6 before Belmont responded with a run behind the serving of Clements, taking a 12-10 advantage. The Ospreys cut the lead back down to one at 14-13, but that is as close as UNF would come. Belmont extended the lead back to three and never let the Ospreys any closer as the Bruins took the first set, 25-20.

 

UNF again came out strong in the second set to take the lead in the opening rallies, but Belmont responded with a run, going up 15-11. The Ospreys cut the lead down to three at 18-15, but the Bruins held on to the advantage to win set two, 25-20 and take a 2-0 lead in the match.

 

The Ospreys controlled the third set and took a six point, 11-5 lead early. Belmont pulled to within one at 12-11, but North Florida maintained the lead with a service ace from Marija Pantovic. The two teams battled over the next several possessions with six ties, the last at 20, but UNF closed out the set, to win 25-20.

 

Belmont went on several service runs to control the fourth set. The Bruins proved too strong for the Ospreys in the fourth, winning the set and taking the match 3-1.

 

“Marija played really well coming in off the bench for us today,” said UNF head volleyball coach Kevin Campbell. “Julie Fye also did a nice job coming in as setter for us. We have a lot of work to do this week before we see JU on Wednesday. We will be able to be prepared and get ready for  a great match.”

 

North Florida will be back on the court on Wednesday, Sept. 16 when the Ospreys make the short trip to Atlantic Sun intra-city rival Jacksonville University. Game time is set for 7:00 p.m. in Swisher Gymnasium.
