Moccasins Earn Key Road Victory at Nova Southeastern

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Florida Southern College volleyball team earned a key Sunshine State Conference victory Friday night on the road at Nova Southeastern University. The Moccasins defeated the Sharks 3-1 inside Rick Case Arena, their second victory over NSU this season.

The win moves FSC's record to 15-9 overall and 8-7 in SSC action while the Sharks fell to 15-8 on the year and 8-6 in league play.

Graduate student Elena Djokovic led the way for the Mocs on Friday as she earned her seventh double-double of the season with a team-best 15 kills and 12 digs. She also led the team defensively with five total blocks including a pair of solo stops. Senior Mackenzie Petermann and junior Zoe Lowe were not far behind as they each finished with 14 kills in the match. Petermann added 14 digs as well for her 28^th career double-double and 12^th of the season. Lowe had just three hitting errors for the match and finished with a .379 hitting percentage.

Junior setter Kiersten Kraus nearly earned herself another triple-double as she posted 23 assists, 12 digs and nine kills. She also had just three hitting errors in the match and finished with a .316 hitting percentage. Freshman setter Mary Kate Mulvaney dished out a team-high 24 assists while digging up nine balls. Senior libero Caroline Chambers led the backline with a team-best 21 digs while also handing out four assists.

The Mocs hit .317 as a team while holding NSU to .209. The Mocs edged the Sharks in blocks 8-7 and had nine more digs at 71-62. NSU had the advantage at the service line with eight team aces compared to the Mocs' two.

FSC won the opening two sets rather handily at 25-19 and 25-16 but the Sharks came out swinging in the third. After taking an early 6-0 lead the Sharks went on to take the period 25-16. The fourth set was the tightest of all the periods. The set was tight throughout but a late 4-1 run by the Mocs gave FSC match point at 24-22. The Sharks were able to fight off two match points to tie the set at 24-24, but a Petermann kill followed by a setting error by the Sharks ended the set and match at 26-24.

Florida Southern will be back in action tomorrow afternoon, Nov. 4, at 4 p.m. as the Mocs travel to Palm Beach Atlantic for another SSC match-up.
