Rattlers Fall to No. 12 Florida in NCAA Opener

GAINESVILLE, Fla. | The Florida A&M volleyball team saw its 2022 season come to an end Friday (Dec. 2) in a 3-0 decision to No. 12 Florida in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. The match marked back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances for the Rattlers and the 13th in program history.

Florida 3, Florida A&M 0 (25-15, 25-15, 25-9)

The opening set featured quite a few errors; six straight kept the score tight in the early goings. However, despite the miscues, UF maintained an advantage. Dominique Washington's service ace pulled the Rattlers within one, 7-6, and a Gator attacking error later tied the match at 7-all, but the score never fell in the visitor's favor.

Florida A&M seemed to settle into a groove at the start of the next frame, where it went point-for-point with the No. 3 seed until a 7-1 run separated the two. Florida managed an 11-5 lead at the end of the stretch and remained ahead the rest of the match.

Brooke Lynn Watts guided FAMU's offensive production with seven kills and a service ace, and in their final collegiate match, Dominique Washington added four kills, three digs, and an assisted block, while Ucar added 15 assists.

The Rattlers amassed great success this season, including SWAC regular season and tournament titles, 21 wins (highlighted by a 15-1 mark in league play), and several postseason awards - SWAC Player of the Year (Washington), Setter of the Year (Ucar), Newcomer of the Year (Watts), and Libero of the Year (Brooke Hudson).
