The Eastern Florida State College women's volleyball team battled No. 1 Florida Southwestern Saturday afternoon, falling in four sets at Titan Field House.
The 17th-ranked Titans lots to the Bucs 25-18, 25-16, 12-25 and 25-14 to fall to 6-6 in the conference.
Down 1-0 and 22-8 in the second set, the Titans went on a nice run as Daphne Wibranowski and Emma Kiser each recorded kills and then Gaia Riedmuller had back-to-back aces and the lead was cut to eight, 23-15.

EFSC head coach Melito Eleutiza mixed up the starting lineup for the third set and the group responded as Rachele Braccio recorded three kills and a big block early in the set to give the Titans a 12-6 lead. Another quick point forced Florida Southwestern to call timeout.

Another Kiser kill would help the Titans pick up the 25-12 win in third set.
