Gainesville FL. - FIU showed they definitely belonged in the NCAA Volleyball Championship. Facing the 18th ranked Colorado State Rams, FIU played tough in a four match loss (22-25, 25-21, 22-25 and 19-25). Every expert had Colorado State easily winning it's match against the Golden Panthers. After-all Colorado State has been in the NCAA Championship Tournament the last 14 years. FIU had only been to the big dance once in 2001.
FlU, which set a school record for wins this season with 28, was led by junior outside hitter Yarimar Rosa’s match-high 22 kills on .312 hitting with 13 digs for a match-high 24.5 points.
Coach Tomic had the team hungry and prepared for this match. They "were not going to be happy just to be invited to the Tournament". Every match was a hard fought battle. Unfortunately it was to be Colorado State's day.
As this season ends we look towards next year as our key players will be seniors our younger players will be more experienced and all will understand what it takes to be the best in the Sun Belt Conference and Possibly the best in the nation.
