FSU Olympic Sports Recap: March 15th-21st

Let’s take a look at how FSU and their Olympic sport teams did this past week.

While much of the attention is paid to the major FSU sports, including football, basketball and baseball, there is plenty of other athletic competition going on right now on the Tallahassee campus and across the country involving the ‘Noles. Here’s a recap of how some of the Olympic sports fared this past week.

Softball

It was a clean sweep of games this week for the top ranked team in the country, as the Lady ‘Noles won all six games they played this week. FSU took two games from Florida Gulf Coast and one from Canisius before heading back to Tallahassee and getting a clean sweep of Notre Dame – winning the three game series by a combined score of 28-0. This week, it’s off to Orlando for a Wednesday showdown with UCF before heading back to ACC play on the road at Virginia.

Beach Volleyball

It was off to the land of Aloha this past weekend for the fourth ranked Lady ‘Noles, who played six games over three days – getting four wins over Nebraska, Hawai’i, Arizona and Utah while dropping both their meetings with USC, the same team who knocked them out in the national title match last season. FSU will see those Trojans again this weekend in the Gamecock Grand Slam, also facing host South Carolina along with Georgia State and Stetson.
