BOCA RATON, Fla. - The Florida Atlantic University volleyball team (2-1) will play tournament host for the second straight weekend as they welcome Bethune-Cookman (0-3) and Stetson (0-3) for the Paradise Classic, which will begin on Friday, Sept. 3.

After a 2-1 start to their season, which included victories over Stony Brook and Wofford, the Owls are already looking like a team that will be turning heads by year's end.

Immediate Impact

Outside hitter Klara Zarnovicka was named Conference USA Freshman of the Week for her efforts at the FAU Invite, including a 22-kill, 12-dig gem in her first game as an Owl. Zarnovicka figures to be a major part of the Owls attack going forward and currently ranks seventh in the nation in both service aces (10) and points (65.5).

Freshman Katelynn Robine also established herself as a premier attacker, recording at least 10 kills in her first three matches and led the Owls with 18 in their most recent match against Wofford. Her 42 points through three matches place her 10th in C-USA.

Veteran Leadership

Graduate transfer Christine Jarman brought solid production with her arrival from Virginia, and will provide much needed big-game experience in a tournament atmosphere over the next few weeks.

Sophomore transfer Lauryn Green picked up right where she left off last season at Tulane, recording 11 kills out of 19 attacks in her first two games this year to go along with five big blocks against Wofford. Her .579 attack percentage is currently the highest on the team.

FAU ranks 10th in the nation with 168 assists through three games.

Series History

FAU vs. Bethune-Cookman - FAU has never lost to the Wildcats, going a perfect 43-0 all-time. The Owls have dropped a grand total of just four sets in all of those contests combined.
