USF Volleyball Takes on St. John's


The USF volleyball team takes on St. John's in a huge Big East show down (game begins at 2PM).  The Bulls at 12-10 (4-5) are hoping for a late season run in the Big East standings, but St. John's is one of the top powers in the conference.  SJU is 17-7 (4-4) on the year and will be trying to avoid the upset in Tampa.


SJU is led by sophomore outside hitter Aleksandra Wachowicz (6-0) who leads the team with 263 kills and 96 digs on the season.  Freshman outside hitter Karin Palgutova (6-2) who has 251 kills and 148 digs on the season.  Senior middle blocker Milicia Kristojevic (6-3) has 232 kills and 48 digs.  Freshman outside hitter Sabina Piezga (6-0) has 774 assists and 6 digs on the year.  Freshman libero/defensive specialist Shawna-Lei Santos (5-8) has 113 kills and 246 digs to round out the Red Storm attack.

After a tough loss to UCONN, the Bulls will need to regroup and refocus against a tough SJU squad.  If the big time hitters for USF like Fairs, Walton, and others can step up big, the Bulls will be able to hang in this match and could pull the upset.
