4th Ranked Bucs Pick Up Road Sweep at Indian River

As long as Florida SouthWestern Head Coach Thais Baziquetto-Allen goes with the saying 'it's not how you start, it's how you finish', she will be pretty happy about her 4th ranked Bucs' Thursday night road sweep of Indian River. FSW got off to a slow start in the first and had to come back multiple times to win a 26-24 slugfest before getting things going in the second for a 25-19 win and finishing the night off with a clean 25-14 win in the third to complete the sweep and improve to 7-2 on the year.

Petkova Powers #7 FSW to Opening Day Sweep

A season ago, then Florida SouthWestern State freshman Maria Petkova bided her time, playing second fiddle behind a host of Division I hitters including All-American Yasso Amin and 1st Team All-Conference outside Julia De Sa.  Friday, in the Bucs 2021 season openers at the Battle of the Beach Tournament at Suncoast Arena, it was Petkova's turn to shine and she took full advantage of that.  The Bucs captain went off in FSW's first game of the day, tying a program record with 22 kills in a 3-1 come from behind victory over #20 Monroe and capped off the day with 13 kills on just 18 swings in a dominating 3-0 sweep of #10 Missouri State-West Plains.
