Women’s Volleyball Falls in First Round of NCAA Tournament
By Ben Wilson
Despite taking a game off of 17th ranked Florida, the Tigers were unable to pull off the upset over the Gators in first round NCAA Tournament action.
Head Coach Wayne Kreklow on the loss:
"“I felt like at times we played well but it is just tough for a young group of kids against a team that is that good. They don’t have a lot of weaknesses; they are big, athletic, and have a lot experience. They made it tough for a group of young kids tonight. I saw glimpses of really good volleyball tonight but out margin for error is just pretty small right now. When we were out of system, we just couldn’t force them into any errors; that was the story of the match.”"
Although the Tigers’ season came to an end with the loss, sophomore outside hitter Lisa Henning set a school record for most kills in a season with 523. In addition, freshman Whitney Little tied former All-American Christi Myers for the most blocks in school history over the course of a single season. Little had five blocks in the loss to Florida, giving her 138 for the year.
