BOCA RATON, FL - Anne Vaughan had 26 kills on the day at the Florida Atlantic University volleyball team won both of its matches on Friday at the Stetson Invitational.
The Owls swept Wofford in three sets (25-18, 25-21, 25-8) in their first match of the day. FAU trailed 5-7 in the first set before they went on a 13-5 run to take an 18-10 lead. Vaughan had two kills and Kristyna Dzmuranova had two service aces during the scoring spree. A Georgia Robinson kill gave the Owls a 25-18 win.
In the second set, neither team was able to maintain control throughout the game. Wofford had pulled to within one at 16-15 when FAU scored nine of the next 15 points to close out the set and take a 2-0 lead. The Owls took control early in the third set and never relinquished it, cruising to an easy 25-8 win to take the match. Dzmuranova led all players with 11 kills in the match.
In the nightcap against Stetson, FAU rallied from down six points to tie the match at 23, but Stetson took the next two points to win the set 25-23. The second set was tied at 13 when FAU took five of the next six points to take an 18-14 lead. Stetson pulled to within one point on multiple occasions, but could never over take the Owls and FAU won the set 25-20.
The two teams were once again tied in the third set, this time at seven, when FAU went on a 13-3 run on their way to a 25-15 set three victory, taking a 2-1 lead in the match. The Owls raced out to a fast lead in the fourth set and never looked back, clinching the victory with a 25-15 fourth set win. Anne Vaughan had 19 kills in the win.
