JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – University of North Florida volleyball battled, but was unable to finish any of the three sets in a 3-0 (26-24, 25-23, 25-22) loss to Jacksonville on Friday night at Swisher Gymnasium in the first River City Rumble meeting of the season
Â
"Our goal as a team and a program is to get better every opportunity we have," said head coach Steve Loeswick. "This is one of those times. Some of the fight and intensity that I saw from our team tonight is something that I haven't seen all year. I'm excited about bits and pieces of our game. This is going to be a lesson that will propel us forward and make sure that we are physically and mentally prepared for all the tough matches we have coming up."
Â
Trailing 19-10 in the first set and facing a hot-hitting Jacksonville team, the Ospreys capitalized on a Jacksonville's first attack error and went on an eight-point run to make it a one-point set. Carinne Turner served two aces during the run, while the Ospreys got three blocks – two assist from Carina Hoff and Erin Edwards and one solo by Edwards. UNF fought back and tied the set at 20-20 on a Courtney Miller kill. Another Miller kill later in the set put UNF up 24-23, but Jacksonville fended off set-point and used a three-point run to end the set.
Â
Both UNF and Jacksonville used multiple runs in a fight for control of the second set. Down by two, an Edwards kill sparked a four-point run that gave the Ospreys a 13-11 advantage. Jacksonville came back to take a one-point, 15-14 lead on a Sammie Strausbaugh kill. After trading points, a three-point surge put the Dolphins up 20-18. UNF cut the Dolphins' lead down to one on several occasions, including at 24-23 on a Miller kill, but Jacksonville took the set on an Osprey attack error.
Â
Three-straight multi-point spurts allowed Jacksonville to go up 19-13 in the third set. UNF attempted to chip away at the Dolphins' lead. Back-to-back Tessa Alyman kills started a four-point Osprey run that cut the deficit down to two. UNF came to within two points several times and fended off match-point twice before the Dolphins collected the deciding kill.
Â
Miller had a team-best 11 kills, while Edwards added nine. Abby Fesl posted a 14-assist, 10-dig double-double. Cari Whitmire tallied 24 digs.
Â
UNF hit .137 for the match and totaled 40 kills and 70 digs.
Â
Strausbaugh had 23 of the Dolphins' 44 kills. She also hit .321. Jizzian Gesulado recorded 36 assists, while Nicole Pritchard had 23 digs.
Â
Jacksonville hit .207 and tallied 77 digs.
Â
UNF returns to action next Friday at Florida Gulf Coast. Match time is set for 7 p.m., at Alico Arena.
