Florida posted a season high 16.0 blocks, compared to Florida States 8.5.After a solid start for the Gators in the first with a 14-10 advantage, the home team put together a monstrous 9-0 run to erase the UF lead and put the Orange and Blue at a five-point deficit, 19-14. The two squads traded points until a deadlock at 23-all, then a tie at 24-all. FSU had set point at 25-24 on a Gators error, but Holston put down one of her 14 kills for a 25-all tie. The Orange and Blue added the next two points on an Alhassan kill and a FSU attack error for the 27-25 first-set win.A 5-0 run got FSU out to a hot start in the second, but the Gators stormed back with an 8-1 run of their own, thanks in part to a six-point service run from freshman Allie Gregory. Following a 14-all tie, the Noles closed with an 11-5 run for the 1-1 tie heading to the break.Florida only seemed to improve as the match went on and Kramer kept bringing the heat both offensively and defensively for UF. While the third was a close back-and-forth battle, the Gators controlled most of the frame on the way to a 25-22 set win. The fourth was painted Orange and Blue. UF led 14-7 at one point, then made it an eight-point lead at 20-12. FSU made it interesting with a run down the stretch, but the Gators closed it out for the 25-19.WORDS FROM WISEIt was actually a classic Florida, Florida State match in early season. I wont say it was the cleanest volleyball; it was an incredibly slow match. Tonight, where our offense just had a hard time getting on track, it was our defense. Our defense won this match for us.

His performance came in for criticism afterwards from New Zealand with then coach Graham Henry highlighting how they did not get a penalty in the final 60 minutes of the match and questioned his call to allow a dubious pass in the build up to Frances second try.All Blacks legend Richie McCaw, in his autobiography The Open Side, also questioned Barnes suitability for that match. My beef isnt with Barnes so much as with his inexperience he wrote. This was Barnes biggest game by far. On the big stage, an inexperienced referee is likely to becomee so afraid of making a mistake that he stops making any decisions at all.ddddddddddddBy the end of it, I thought Barnes was frozen with fear and wouldnt make any big calls.Barnes is regarded as one of the worlds finest referees and his appointment for that match comes as World Rugby confirms who will preside over the end-of-year Tests.Other appointments include Mathieu Raynal taking charge of New Zealands match against Ireland in Chicago while Jér?me Garcès will take the whistle for Englands November opener against South Africa.
