TALLAHASSEE, Fla.- For the second time in as many games, the Maryland volleyball team rallied from a two games to one deficit to win another ACC match, this time over Florida State Friday night at Tully Gym in Tallahassee, Fla. After winning a thrilling comeback win over Virginia at home Tuesday, the Terps rallied again to even their ACC record at 2-2 after Friday's exciting 24-30, 30-28, 22-30, 30-24, 15-13 victory over the host Seminoles.

Junior outside hitter Carey Brennan (Smithsburg, Md.) pounded a season-high 20 kills and added a team-best 14 digs for her team leading fifth double-double of the year. Brennan and the Terps offensive attack came up big when they needed to, hitting a whopping .455 in the fifth and deciding game to seal the victory.

Junior setter Lindsay Davey (Aurora, Colo.) dished out 60-plus assists for the second time this week, finishing the night with 60 assists for the winners. Davey had plenty of options to pass to since the Terps had four players with double-figure kills including Brennan's 20.

Sophomore right side Lynnsy Jones (Castro Valley, Calif.) pounded career-high 16 kills to go along with two service aces. Sophomore outside hitter Maria DiLivio (Hamilton, Ontario) also racked up 16 kills with seven digs while senior middle hitter Willette Dority (Congers, N.Y.) continued her strong play with 13 kills and a match-high .435 hitting percentage.

Junior middle hitter Amanda Ayres (Chesapeake Beach, Md.) was strong on the defensive end with a match-high and new career-best seven blocks for the Terps.

The victory evens the Terps' ACC record at 2-2 and improves their overall mark to 5-6. The Seminoles stand at 2-7 overall and 1-2 in the conference.

The Terrapins return home on Tuesday (Oct. 2) to open a three-game homestand, beginning with Navy at 7 p.m. in Ritchie Coliseum.
