Boca Raton, Fla. -- Haley Tippett and McKenna Foster each recorded 10 kills, but Stetson fell 3-0 (25-16, 25-18, 25-18) to host Florida Atlantic Friday evening at the FAU Invitational.

Senior Kayla Weller registered her second straight double-double with 28 assists and 11 digs.  Freshman Sina Faulk picked up six digs in the third set while making her Hatter debut.

The Owls (2-0) posted a .402 attack percentage for the match while the Hatters (1-1) hit .186.

After splitting its two matches on opening day, Stetson will face Bethune-Cookman at 9 a.m. and Binghamton at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Quoting Coach Hernandez:
"We struggled on the serve receive end, so it's really hard to do anything when you are not passing well.  We were also not serving very aggressively and they were able to run their middles.  When you play a team with two very good middles who is in system all the time, it is very hard to defend."

Approaching Milestone
Senior setter Kayla Weller passed the 2,900-assist mark Friday.  She needs just 92 more helpers to become the fourth Hatter all-time with 3,000 assists.

Prewitt Returns
After missing most of the 2014 season with an injury, senior Cailyn Prewitt returned to action Friday, playing the right side in the second set against FAU.
