FGCU (16-7, 11-0 A-Sun) is off to the program’s best start in conference play since joining the league in 2007. The Eagles’ overall 12-game win streak is their longest since the 2008-09 season, when they reeled off 12 straight wins from October 3 to November 7, 2008.

In each of those three matches, UNF had three players register double-digit kills. Additionally, four Ospreys had double-digit digs in the four-set wins over Lipscomb and Northern Kentucky.

The Green and Blue, who have swept seven of their last 11 A-Sun opponents, showcase five players that have registered at least 145 kills far this season, led by sophomore Jill Hopper’s (Muncie, Ind./Yorktown HS) team-leading 211.
