DeLAND, Fla. -  Friday night's match at Stetson saw some wild sets and a few explosive performances on both sides of the court.

But, when the final point was tallied the Hatters (4-11, 1-4 ASUN) topped UNF, 3-1, October 11 from the Edmunds Center. 

Sophomore Solimar Cestero posted a career-high 27 kills, setting the UNF DI four-set match record in that category. UNF (7-12, 1-4 ASUN) won a marathon second set, 34-32, the highest set score in an Osprey match since 2008. 

There were 45 tie scores and 22 lead changes on the night.

Wright's Words
"I'm proud of our fight tonight," head coach Kristen Wright said. "Our girls out-scored and out-dug Stetson. We found the block a few too many times and we had a few too many unforced errors. Again, I'm really proud of my girls. All of our freshman played really well, Taryn chipped away, Julianna excelled and Solimar led the way!"
