Cavaliers suffer 3-0 loss to Florida State
By Ben Keim | November 4, 2002As the Virginia women's volleyball team took the court Sunday before an emotional Senior Day crowd recognizing seniors Simona Kuipers and Kiersten Kaufman, the Cavaliers looked to end a five-match losing streak with an upset of Florida State. Despite solid early play, however, the Cavaliers (7-22, 1-12 ACC) were unable to capitalize on their chances and were swept by the Seminoles, 3-0 (30-24, 30-13, 30-25). With the win, Florida State (18-8, 9-3) moves into a tie for second place in the ACC, while the Cavaliers must look to their last three regular season games to secure the eighth seed in the conference tournament. "We wanted to approach this match playing all out, having a good time, and trying to improve on what we do," Virginia Coach Melissa Aldrich Shelton said.
