Florida swept IPFW, 30-14, 30-17, 30-19. Kelsey Bowers got the first start of her career and she delivered. 11 kills, 0 errors on 14 attacks, she hit .786 and had 5 blocks. She played and started the 1st 2 games, came off the bench to play late in game 3. Jane had 14 kills, Marcie 9. Kisya had 6 kills, hit .400 and added 7 blocks as the middles really played well. I was surprised to see IPFW was unbeaten coming in. Not sure who they've played however.
In the first match, UC-Irvine beat Eastern Michigan in 4, so Florida will face UC-I tomorrow in the championship.

Florida sweeps UC-Irvine, 30-20, 30-24, 30-13. It was a weird match. Florida was very efficient offensively and well balanced, they blocked well, but didn't do some other things well. For starters, they had 7 aces, but 13 service errors(it felt like 20). Not much defense, only 26 digs for Florida(19 for UCI). UC-I's offense is very quick, but when they are off, it's ugly. Lots of attack errors. They do have some nice players and I think they can make some noise in the Big West, but today, Florida was too much for them. Hampton led all players with 10 kills, hitting .500, Kisya had 9(.438), Jane and Angie had 8, Amber 6, Kari 5 and Kelsey 4. Angie did a great job distributing but also being an offensive weapon. For some reason, UCI just ignored her when she was front row and she made them pay. Continued to be impressed by the play of the middles. Kisya is rock solid, but Kelsey Bowers really came alive this weekend. She only played game 3 today, but she had 4 kills, 0 errors in 5 swings and 2 block solos, 1 assist. For the 2 matches(4 games total), 15 kills, 0 errors on 19 swings, 8 blocks. Not bad. I wish she'd have been recognized on the all tournament team. In the consolation match, IPFW swept Eastern Michigan. www.gatorzone.com/volleyball/boxscore.php?gameid=5270Campus USA Credit Union All-Tournament Team Florida - Jane Collymore, OH (MVP) Florida - Marcie Hampton, OH Florida - Angie McGinnis, S UCI - Whitney Pavlik, MB UCI - Amanda Vazquez, MB IPFW - Claire Jackson, MB EMU - Bethany Piccolini, OH/MB |

IPFW is my schools, I'm glad they put up at least a bit of a fight against the Gators since it's only their 2nd / 3rd year as a D1 school for Women's Volleyball.

I'm glad the Gators bounced back from their loss last weekend from Notre Dame.
Great weekend at Florida.....volleyball team wins AND the football team beat the Vols!
Now, bring on the Seminoles on Monday night! ;D
