TALLAHASSEE\u00a0\u2013\u00a0The Florida State beach volleyball team began its 2026 season with three dual sweeps at the FSU Unconquered Invitational, beating UAB, Cal State Bakersfield, and Georgia State.<\/p>\n
The Seminoles recorded 10 set wins against UAB, needing only two three-set duals to complete the sweep. Kyleene Filimaua <\/a>and Kenzie Hultquist<\/a> made quick work on court five, securing their two-set victory at 21-10 and 21-12.<\/p>\n FSU continued to dominate in their second match, with each court finishing in only two sets. In set one, Jordan Boulware<\/a> and Audrey Rothman<\/a> managed to keep the Roadrunners court one to only seven points (21-7) before closing set two and the dual at 21-11.<\/p>\n In the Noles final match of the day, it was a nail-biter set two on court two with new addition\u00a0Saofe Duval<\/a> and sophomore Gella Andrew<\/a>. After taking set one 21-18, FSU fell back four points to the Panthers. Thanks to a major scoop and swing from Duval, set two ended 21-19 Florida State.<\/p>\n The FSU Unconquered Invitational continues with the Seminoles first match against North Alabama beginning at 11:30 a.m. EST. They will go on to face Southeastern Louisiana at 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n For more information on the Florida State beach volleyball program, check Seminoles.com and follow us on social media at\u00a0fsubeachvolleyball\u00a0(IG) and @FSU_BeachVB (X).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TALLAHASSEE\u00a0\u2013\u00a0The Florida State beach volleyball team began its 2026 season with three dual sweeps at the FSU Unconquered…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":163418,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":{"0":"post-163417","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tallahassee","8":"tag-tallahassee","9":"tag-tallahassee-headlines","10":"tag-tallahassee-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163417"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163417\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/163418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
