Coming off an impressive performance at home against in-state rival Virginia Tech, the Virginia volleyball team resumes conference play tonight against Florida State at Memorial Gymnasium.
Though the Cavaliers (6-4, 1-0 ACC) hope to maintain the momentum they gained in a 3-0 victory against Tech in front of a season-high crowd Friday, Florida State (4-5, 1-0 ACC) comes to Charlottesville in a similar position after defeating rival Miami 3-0 in Tallahassee last week.
The matchup features two preseason top-five ACC squads, with Virginia voted third and Florida State fifth before the season began. Facing a team of a comparable caliber, it is crucial that Virginia use its home-court advantage to continue its strong start in conference play.
Look for senior Sarah Kirkwood, Virginia's all-time leader in service aces and kills, to lead the Cavaliers. For the Seminoles, a player to keep an eye on is junior Mira Djuric, who ranks in the top 10 in the ACC in both kills and service aces per game.
The game begins at 7 p.m. and admission is free.
