TALLAHASSEE, Fla. \u2013 Jacksonville Beach Volleyball faced a stiff test on Saturday at the FSU Tournament, falling 5-0 to No. 8 LMU before coming up just short in another tight battle with Southern Miss, 3-2.<\/p>\n
The Dolphins opened the day against one of the nation’s top teams in LMU, competing tightly across multiple courts against the No. 8 Lions. Jacksonville challenged early, particularly at the top flights, but LMU ultimately used its depth to secure the sweep.<\/p>\n
In the afternoon, the Dolphins responded with a much stronger showing, pushing Southern Miss to the brink for the second straight day.<\/p>\n
Megan Hair<\/a> and Claire Mrukowski<\/a> set the tone at the No. 1 spot, grinding out a three-set win, 18-21, 21-16, 15-8. Morgan Perry<\/a> and Kate Taylor<\/a> followed with another clutch performance at No. 4, bouncing back after dropping the second set to take the decider, 15-12.<\/p>\n With the dual hanging in the balance, Southern Miss claimed the remaining courts in tightly contested matches, including multiple three-set decisions, to secure the 3-2 victory.<\/p>\n Match Results<\/p>\n #8 LMU 5, Jacksonville 0<\/p>\n 1.
