She posted nine kills, tied with <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/abbie-tuyo\/8822\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8822\" target=\"_blank\">Abbie Tuyo<\/a> for the most on the team, while also hitting a team-high .412. Junior setter Emersen led the team in assists (15) and digs (15).<\/p>\n<p>Set One<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe Dolphins defense stood strong with four blocks in the opening set, but the hosts struggled to generate offense with seven kills as a team in the first set. After JU cut the deficit to 12-10, UConn rattled off six straight points to blow the set away. The Huskies would close it out, 25-17.<\/p>\n<p>Set Two<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nJacksonville started stronger in the second set, taking an early 6-2 lead. The offense started to find its feet behind four Tuiasosopo kills. UConn flipped the set with a 5-0 run to take a 12-9 lead. The Huskies led the rest of the way en route to a 25-19 set win.<\/p>\n<p>Set Three<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe third set featured JU&#8217;s best stretch of the day. On Strain&#8217;s serve, the Dolphins won the first seven points of the game. The Huskies answered back, but a kill from redshirt freshman <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/addison-krieger\/8779\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8779\" target=\"_blank\">Addison Krieger<\/a> gave Jacksonville a 12-8 lead.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, UConn flipped momentum to take an 18-17 lead. JU pulled the set within a point several times, including at 24-23, but the Huskies found their winner, 25-23.<\/p>\n<p>Match Notes&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tKrieger finished with a new career-high six blocks. She&#8217;s averaging a team-best 1.27 blocks per set.&#13;<br \/>\n\tTuyo has averaged at least three kills per set in all but one match this season.&#13;<br \/>\n\tFive different players recorded at least two block assists.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nUp Next<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe Dolphins will put a bow on their home tournament with a Sunday matinee against the reigning SWAC Champions Florida A&amp;M. First serve is scheduled for 2 PM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Next Match: Florida A&amp;M University 9\/6\/2026 | 2:00 PM ET &#13; Sep. 06 (Sun) \/&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":391668,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":["post-391667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391667","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=391667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
