BOCA RATON, Fla. –

Rachel Hassan had a match-high 18 kills, 20 digs and hit .325 but it wasn’t enough as the Troy State volleyball team saw its postseason chances disappear in a 3-1 loss at Atlantic Sun foe Florida Atlantic, Saturday.

The loss drops the Trojans to 9-12 overall and 4-6 in A-Sun play. By virtue of Campbell’s 3-2 win over Samford, the Camels move three matches ahead of the Trojans in the loss column with two matches remaining. TSU took advantage of a disorganized FAU team in game one and claimed a 30-24 victory thanks in large part to out-blocking the Owls. FAU responded with a 30-24 win in game two on the strength of five kills from Gracie Heim. Heim, who finished with 17 kills, gave the Owls the lead for good when she sparked a 10-4 run with the score knotted at 20. FAU won the match going away, with 30-21 and 30-26 wins in the final two games. Holly Martin had 10 kills and seven blocks for TSU, and Erika VanHootegem had 18 kills, nine digs and four aces.

TSU hit just .101 compared to FAU’s .205 and was out-blocked, 11-9.

The Trojans return to action Wednesday night when they play host to Alabama A&M at Trojan Arena. First serve is set for 7:30 p.m. and admission is free.
