Stellar performances by senior middle blocker Chloe Mann,
freshman right-side hitter Alex Holston and junior libero Taylor
Unroe pushed the No. 5 Gator volleyball team to a five-set victory (24-26,
25-23, 25-8, 24-26, 16-14) over Texas A&M Sunday afternoon at Reed Arena.
It was Florida’s second straight five-set win at Texas A&M.
Unroe was unreal from behind the service line, smashing a
career-high six service aces, including back-to-back aces to seal the match. Her
serve on match point rolled off the top of the tape and dropped untouched to
give the Gators the 16-14 fifth set victory.
Senior CLASS Award finalist and First Team All-American Mann
had a career performance against the Aggies, crushing 22 kills Sunday, a new
career high. Mann hit a match-high .606 and added three blocks for a
career-high 24 points. Holston tallied a career-high 21 kills, including six in
both the second and fourth sets, hitting .459 on the afternoon.
