BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Florida Atlantic University volleyball team (13-8, 3-6 C-USA) fell in straight sets in the Owls second matchup this season against the UAB Blazers (10-11, 5-4 C-USA) on Sunday to split the season series.
After UAB scored the first point of the match, the Owls jumped out to a 7-3 lead, however, the Blazers answered back on a 6-1 run to take their first lead since the opening point, 9-8. The Owls continued to battle, leading for much of the set and eventually holding a 22-20 advantage late in the first, but UAB closed the frame with five straight points to take the 25-22 win and the lead after one, 1-0.
The Owls took the opening lead in the second after a pair of kills from sophomores Klara Zarnovicka and Katelynn Robine, however, UAB fought back to take a 3-2 advantage. The two teams battled through an 8-8 tie, but after two from UAB to make it 10-8, FAU scored five unanswered, capped off by Sonte Stewart's first kill of the match to put the Owls in front by their largest lead of the set, 13-10. FAU's last lead of the second came at 16-15, before the Blazers produced a 9-3 run to hold set point at 24-19. The Owls looked to rally scoring back-to-back points off a kill and ace from senior Camryn Vogler, but it was just a little too late as an Owl error closed out the set 25-21 and UAB took a 2-0 lead into the third.
FAU looked to rally in the third. UAB took the opening point, but a 10-5 Owl run put FAU in front 10-6 after junior Nikola Bartecka's first kill of match. The Owls maintained a six-point advantage through a 15-9 lead, however, UAB scored six straight points to even the match up at 15 apiece. FAU outscored UAB 8-5 to hold a 23-20 advantage late after another kill from Zarnovicka, but a 6-1 run from the Blazers closed out the contest as UAB took the final set 26-24.
The Owls return to FAU Arena on Friday, October 28 as they host cross-town rival FIU for a 7 p.m. first serve.
