FSU Olympic Sports Recap: April 19th-25th

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

The second ranked Lady ‘Noles had another successful week on the diamond, starting off with a two game sweep on the road against Troy. Over the weekend, FSU not only got a sweep of ACC foe Louisville, but also won the conference regular season crown for the fifth straight year and the 15^th time in history. Florida State will get the weekdays off before hosting North Carolina for a three game set starting Friday.

Beach Volleyball

The fourth ranked Lady ‘Noles can again call themselves conference champs after winning all six of their matches this weekend in the Coastal Collegiate Sports Association Conference Championship played in Georgia. The weekend included wins over South Carolina, FAU, UNC Wilmington, Tulane and two wins over FIU – including Sunday’s 3-0 win over the Panthers. FSU will now get the weekend off before taking part in the NCAA Championships in Gulf Shores, AL.
