4 MATCH #10/15: NO. 2 SOUTHERN CAL (4-1) USC has sat in second place in both polls since the preseason, right behind their cross-town rival UCLA. In last year s East Meets West Invitational, USC edged out FSU for a 3-2 win in one of only four regular season meetings between the two teams since The teams nine regular season meetings is the most FSU has seen against any of these five teams. The last time these two teams met, the Seminoles beat the Women of Troy in the first round of the NCAA Championships. FSU became the first team to beat USC in the NCAA tournament, and it snapped USC s six-match win streak against the Noles. MATCH #11: NO. 8 LONG BEACH STATE (3-1) Long Beach State will play three midweek matches this week, starting with Stetson at home on Wednesday and Florida State and Stetson on Thursday. LBSU s three wins have come against Long Beach City College, CSUN and CSU Bakersfield, including a pair of sweeps and one 4-1 decision. The 49ers lost to Pepperdine 1-4 last weekend in Malibu. The 49ers pair of Loitz/Stevens earned the Big West Conference Pair of the Week honor this week after going 5-0 at the No. 3 position. They handed Pepperdine s Filippone/Dilfer their first loss of the year, winning in straight sets. MATCH #12: NO. 3 PEPPERDINE (6-1) Pepperdine holds a 9-1 record over the Seminoles, and they have won the last three matches in the series. FSU s lone win over the Waves came in Tallahassee, making Pepperdine one of only two California teams that have visited FSU s home court (along with Cal Poly earlier this season). The two played a doubleheader that day in which the Waves handed the Seminoles their only loss at the Seminole Beach Volleyball Courts. Head coach Marcio Sicoli begins his first season in Malibu this year after Nina Matthies retired following the 2018 season. The Waves only loss this season came in a 4-1 decision against UCLA. MATCH #13: NO. 5 HAWAII (2-2) FSU leads the series against Hawaii 7-4, the best record against any of the teams the Noles will see this weekend. Florida State handed Hawaii its only loss in the East Meets West Invitational last season, winning in a 4-1 decision. The Seminoles have won four of the last matches against the Rainbow Wahine, and enter the weekend on a two-match win streak against them. In the semifinals of the 2018 NCAA Championship, FSU took down Hawaii to reach the finals through the winners bracket, snapping a 32-match win streak for the Rainbow Wahine. MATCH #14: NO. 1 UCLA (9-0) FSU has seen UCLA eight times in the regular season in the series between the two, and leads 7-5 in the series. Seven of the Bruins wins this season were 5-0 decisions, with a 4-1 decision over Pepperdine and a 3-2 score against USC. The last time these two teams met, UCLA beat FSU to win the 2018 NCAA Championship. Before that, the Seminoles beat the Bruins in the second round, snapping a 31-match win streak for UCLA and making them the first No. 4 seed to beat the No. 1 seed in the tournament.

SEMINOLES IN SEASON OPENERS Florida State has never lost its first match of the season. Since head coach Brooke Niles came to FSU in 2016, the Seminoles have not seen worse than a 4-0 start to the season, with a program-best 14-0 start in FSU will face four ranked opponents in its season-opening tournament for the second year in a row this year. Year Season-starting win streak Head Coach (duals only)...danalee Corso Danalee Corso Danalee Corso Danalee Corso Brooke Niles Brooke Niles Brooke Niles Brooke Niles BACK-TO-BACK-TO-BACK CCSA CHAMPIONS FSU earned its third-straight CCSA title in 2018 after going 6-0 in the tournament. The team saw its most efficient conference championship run on its way to the 2018 title, dropping only one flight of 28 over the weekend. Florida State is one of only three programs in NCAA beach volleyball history to have won three straight conference championships (along with Pepperdine and Hawaii). All three of those teams have now gone undefeated in their respective conference tournaments since Not only is FSU undefeated in the CCSA Tournament, the Garnet and Gold hadn t dropped a single match to a conference opponent or any East Coast team from 2016 to NCAA NATIONAL RUNNERS-UP Florida State saw its most productive postseason in program history in 2019, as the team went 3-1 at the NCAA Championship to reach the finals through the winners bracket. FSU beat USC, UCLA and Hawaii to face the Bruins for a second time in the championship match. The Seminoles became the first team to hand USC a loss in the NCAA Championship and the first No. 4 seed to defeat a No. 1-overall seed (UCLA) in the tournament. Their wins over UCLA in the second round and Hawaii in the semifinals snapped 31- and 32- match win streaks for those teams, respectively. SEMINOLE STORYLINES INDOOR PLAYERS OUTSIDE New to the sand this year are Payton Caffrey and Morgan Chacon, two of FSU s newest indoor volleyball players in the 2018 fall season. Caffrey, a transfer from West Virginia, was named the ACC Player of the Year, AVCA East Region Player of the Year and an AVCA All-American Honorable Mention in her first season. An outside hitter from Indiana, Chacon spent a majority of the fall season with an injury, but helped the Seminoles pick up two three-set wins over Florida A&M and TCU. All-Time FSU Beach and Indoor Players: Christina Ambrose, Sarah Burrington, Payton Caffrey, Morgan Chacon, Visnja Djurdjevic, Katie Horton, Katie Mosher, Milica Kubura, Hailey Luke, Danielle Pennington, Jekaterina Stepanova, Sarah Wickstrom, Cecilie Woie, Fatma Yilidrim, Marija Milosavljevic, Amanda Saxton, Aurora Davis, Olivera Medic. SISTER-SISTER Freshman Morgan Chacon joins her sister, sophomore Alaina Chacon on the beach team this season. They become the third pair of sisters to play on the team in the same season (Kristina and Stephanie Pellitteri in 2013, Nina Pellitteri and Stephanie Pellitteri in 2014). Freshman Kiora Sanchez follows in her sister s footsteps by coming to FSU. Sierra Sanchez played for four years and graduated in 2017, earning a dual match record (71-33 overall), good for the tenth-most dual match wins in program history. COAST-TO-COAST Graduate transfer Payton Rund joins the Seminoles from Saint Mary s College in California. An Oregon native, Rund is now nearly 3,000 miles away from her hometown (Albany). With the Gaels, Rund and her partner Lindsay Knudsen -- coached by current FSU assistant coach Angela Rock -- beat USC s No. 1 pair of Kelly Claes and Sarah Hughes in 2017, snapping their 103-match win streak. FRESHMAN STANDOUTS All six of this season s freshmen came to FSU as some of the top recruits in their class. Kate Privett was named an AVCA High School Beach All-American First Team honoree last fall, while her teammates, Jenna Johnson, Morgan Kuchar and Lexi McKeown were all Second Team selections.

12 Entering her fourth season with the program, head coach Brooke Niles has shaped Florida State beach volleyball into one of the most elite teams in the country, establishing the Seminoles as a national contender every year and a fixture in the AVCA Beach Top-20. Niles came to FSU prior to the 2016 season, and had previously coached at the collegiate, junior college, club and high school levels working with both indoor and sand volleyball teams. In 2016, Niles led the Seminoles to unprecedented heights during the program s first season as an official NCAA Championship sport. Her first year in Tallahassee was highlighted by a series of program firsts including a school-record for dual-match victories (32), a conference championship, the top-seed in the inaugural NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship and a national runner-up finish. Florida State hit the ground running under Niles, winning its first 14 matches, all on the road, with eight of those victories coming against ranked foes including five ranked in the top-10. One of those wins came against then-no. 2 Southern California in Los Angeles as the Seminoles snapped the Women of Troy s 19-match home win streak. FSU went on to earn the No. 1 overall seed at the NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship after claiming the 2016 Coastal Collegiate Sports Association (CCSA) Conference title. The Seminoles finished the 2016 campaign as the national runner-up at the NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship in Gulf Shores, Ala. after posting a 3-2 record at the tournament. FSU went on to set the single-season school record for victories in a season with 32 and ranked in the Top 5 of the AVCA national poll all year. Along with their 14-match win streak, the Seminoles also put together a school-record 17-match win streak which saw Florida State outscore the opposition At season s end, Florida State registered 19 victories over ranked schools, while posting an 11-3 mark against teams ranked in the Top 10. In her second year under the helm Niles continued the winning tradition of Florida State beach volleyball. The team finished with the second-most wins in school history and the third most in the country (29). Niles and the Noles secured back-to-back CCSA Championships after they defeated FIU 3-0 in 34 minutes. Florida State reached their second consecutive NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship appearance and sixth straight post season appearance, tied for most of any school. The Seminoles finished the 2017 season in fourth place at the NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship in Gulf Shore, Ala. after going 2-2 at the tournament. The Noles defeated a school record 22 ranked teams during the 2017 season, including 13 wins over top-10 teams and three over top-5 teams. The 2017 season saw the Garnet and Gold defeat Pepperdine for the first time in school history as they took down the second-ranked wave in Tallahassee. Niles set the bar even higher in her third season, scheduling 13 dual matches against ranked opponents in the regular season and finishing with a program-record 33 wins. Florida State reached its third consecutive NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship appearance, and seventh-straight postseason appearance, making FSU one of only two programs to make every NCAA and AVCA National Championship (along with Pepperdine). The Seminoles went undefeated to make it to the finals of the NCAA Championship for the first time, taking down No. 1 UCLA, No. 3 Hawaii and No. 5 USC along the way. FSU fell to No. 1-overall UCLA in the finals for the team s second NCAA Runner-Up finish under Niles. FSU tallied 14 wins against AVCA Top-20 opponents in 2018, picking up four wins against higher-ranked teams. Through her three seasons at the helm, the Seminoles have remained undefeated against every East Coast team, and have not lost to a CCSA team since joining the conference in Niles first year. Niles was recognized for her outstanding effort in her first season at the helm of the Seminole beach volleyball program as she was named National Coach of the Year by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA).
