Chris Poole Stepping Down as Head Volleyball Coach.

January 7, 2025

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State volleyball head coach Chris Poole is stepping down from his position, he announced Wednesday. Poole, who led FSU to 15 NCAA Tournament appearances in his 18 seasons, chose not to seek an extension of his contract following the 2025 season.

Poole leaves the sideline following a distinguished career marked by competitive success, program growth, and a lasting impact on student-athletes both on and off the court. In 18 seasons with the Seminoles, Poole tallied 405 wins and led the Garnet and Gold to four ACC championships. Poole led FSU to the Round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament five times and became the first ACC team to reach the National Semifinal in 2011. The four-time ACC Coach of the Year led the Seminoles to 12 20-win seasons and 36 victories over ranked opponents. Poole is the seventh-winningest coach in Division I history with his 955 career wins in 39 seasons as a head coach.

"This university, this department, and this program have meant everything to me," Poole said. "After thoughtful consideration, I believe this is the right time for me to step aside. I am excited to pursue my next goal in life of working in athletics administration. I am incredibly proud of what we've built in Tallahassee and am fully confident in the future of Florida State volleyball."

Florida State Vice President and Director of Athletics Michael Alford praised Poole's legacy and accomplishments.

"Chris Poole is one of the most respected coaches in Florida State's entire athletics history," Alford said. "His decision to step down allows the volleyball program to take its next step forward, but his legacy of consistent competitiveness will always be remembered. We are grateful for his leadership, his integrity, and the foundation he has built."

Florida State will conduct a national search for its next head coach.


Allman Hired as FSU Head Coach.

February 5, 2026

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State has hired experienced leader Lindsay Allman as its next head volleyball coach, Vice President and Director of Athletics Michael Alford announced Thursday.

Allman, who spent the previous four seasons as FSU's associate head coach, brings five years of collegiate head coaching experience to the role. In addition to her time leading Indiana State, Allman also has experience as an assistant coach at Wake Forest, Bradley and Southern Miss.

"Lindsay Allman is a proven winner and a relentless competitor who knows how to compete and recruit at the highest level," Alford said. "She brings a proven track record of building winning programs and developing elite student-athletes while leading with integrity and energy. Linsday understands what it takes to compete for championships, and she embodies the values that define Florida State both on and off the court."

Allman's previous responsibilities included serving as FSU's recruiting coordinator and primarily working with the Seminoles' outside hitters and Serve Receive, an area that has ranked in the top three of the ACC throughout her tenure. The 2025 season featured Iane Henke earning AVCA All-America honors, as well as first-team All-Region and second-team All-ACC recognition, and Kyleene Filimaua joining her on the all-region and all-conference teams. The duo ranked fourth and sixth, respectively, in the ACC in kills per set while also ranking in the top 10 of the conference in attacks per set, points per set, total kills and total attacks. Filimaua has developed into one of the top passing outsides in the country under Allman's guidance.

In 2024, Allman helped lead Audrey Koenig and Khori Louis to All-America accolades. That year, the Seminoles had the ACC's third-highest hitting percentage as a team while Louis led the conference and ranked eighth nationally in hitting percentage. Koenig ranked in the top 10 in the conference in aces per set, kills per set, points per set and service aces.

Allman helped lead Florida State to the 2023 ACC championship with a 16-2 mark in conference play. The Seminoles ranked second in the ACC in hitting percentage and kills and had the conference's third-highest blocks total. Among individuals, Koenig was named the ACC Player of the Year, while Louis was second in the ACC and fourth in the country in hitting percentage. The ACC title was Florida State's first conference crown since 2012. Prior to the season, Allman was named to the Volleyball Magazine Coaching Hotshots List.

"I want to thank Michael Alford, Cindy Hartmann and the entire hiring committee for their continued trust in me," Allman said. "My family and I chose Tallahassee and Florida State for a reason, and without a doubt there is no other place like FSU. I want to thank Chris Poole for entrusting me four years ago and will forever cherish that we were able to bring another ACC title to Florida State together. I am honored for the opportunity to lead this program back to the top nationally and within the ACC."

Allman's five seasons at Indiana State culminated in 2021 with an 18-13 record, the program's most wins since joining the Missouri Valley Conference in 1983. She also led the Sycamores to the semifinal round of the conference tournament and a bid to the National Invitational Volleyball Championships, the program's first postseason appearance, that year. In her first season, she led Indiana State to a tie for fifth in the MVC standings, the program's first top-five placing since 2003, and into the MVC Tournament semifinals for the first time in program history.

While at Indiana State, Allman recruited a nationally recognized class in 2020, which included Prep Volleyball All-American Mallory Keller. Allman developed multiple all-conference performers, led by second-team selections Laura Gross and Madeline Williams. She coached two MVC Freshman of the Week honorees after the program had only one recipient of the conference's weekly honor in its history. Additionally, Allman's squad earned the AVCA All-Academic Award in each of her five seasons.

Prior to her time as a head coach, Allman was Wake Forest's assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the 2016 season, where she helped Caroline Rassenfoss and Caitlyn Della earn spots on the All-ACC Freshman Team. After the season, she was named interim head coach and was tasked with retaining current student-athletes and recruits while the program underwent a coaching transition.

She spent four seasons as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Bradley. In 2013, she helped the Braves reach the MVC Tournament for the first time since 2005 after earning 13 wins and seven conference victories, both the program's highest totals since 2005. While at Bradley, she recruited Erica Haslag who became the first freshman in program history to record 250 kills, 24 aces, 150 digs and 40 blocks and bookended her career with two first-team all-conference honors and being one of 30 players nationally named a Senior CLASS Award finalist.

Allman began her coaching career as a graduate assistant at Southern Miss from 2009-10 before being promoted to assistant coach for the 2011 season. She coached under Olympic gold medalist Ricci Luyties and helped the Golden Eagles to a 27-5 overall record and the school's first regular season conference title.

An accomplished collegiate student-athlete, Allman recorded more than 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs during a four-year playing career at Maine. She was a first-team all-conference performer and team captain her senior year and made the America East Honor Roll three times.

Originally from Saint Louis, Allman earned her bachelor's degree in mass communication with minors in public relations and child development from Maine in 2009 and completed her master's degree in social work from Southern Miss in 2011. Allman and her husband, Tallahassee native and Florida State graduate William Dehler, have two children.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Florida State volleyball team (1-1) earned its first victory of the 2026 season with a 3-1 win over VCU (0-2) Saturday afternoon at the FGCU Invitational in Fort Myers, Florida.

The Seminoles were led by junior middle blocker Delaney Ewing, who recorded a career- and match-high 14 kills while leading all players with 16 points. Freshman outside hitter Sofia Moss followed with 13 kills, nearly doubling her total from her Seminole debut. Sophomore middle blocker Nenu Kpea also recorded double-digit kills, tallying 12 on a .444 hitting percentage.

Junior setters Emma Lilo and Callie Keiffer combined for 50 assists, with Lilo leading the way with 30 after recording 23 against No. 24 BYU in Friday's season opener. Keiffer added 20 assists.

Junior libero Maile Chan led all players with a career-high 13 digs.

Florida State finished the match with 61 kills, 46 digs, nine total blocks and 10 aces, marking the first time the Seminoles have recorded double-digit aces since Oct. 26, 2025, against Virginia Tech, when FSU tallied 12.

Florida State came out strong in the opening set, jumping out to a 7-2 lead. VCU cut the deficit to three, but the Seminoles continued to build their advantage, taking a 21-15 lead before closing out the set, 25-19. Moss led FSU with seven kills in the opening frame.

The second set remained closely contested throughout, with neither team able to create much separation early. VCU took a 16-14 advantage before Florida State answered with two straight points to level the score. The Rams then pulled away late, taking the set 25-19 to even the match at 1-1.

The third set was a back-and-forth battle, featuring nine ties and five lead changes. With the score tied at 17-17 FSU went on a 4-1 run to take a 21-18 advantage.

The Seminoles held on to win the set 25-22 and took a 2-1 lead in the match, with Ewing recording five kills in the set.

The fourth set was another hard-fought battle. Trailing 15-12 at the media timeout, the Seminoles battled back to tie the set at 17-17. FSU then won seven of the next 12 points to take a 24-22 lead. VCU fought off two match points to tie the set at 24-24, but the Seminoles closed out the Rams with the next two points to win 26-24 and secure the 3-1 victory.

Seminoles Rally Past No. 16 Kansas in Five-Set Thriller.

September 4, 2026

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Florida State volleyball team (3-1) rallied to defeat No. 16 Kansas (1-3), 3-2 (26-24, 21-25, 19-25, 28-26, 15-13), Friday evening at the LUV Invitational at Allen Arena in Nashville.

Florida State was taken to five sets for the second time in its first four matches and earned its first five-set victory since defeating Notre Dame on Nov. 16, 2025. The victory also marked the Seminoles' first win over a ranked opponent since defeating No. 15 North Carolina at home on Nov. 21, 2025.

Senior outside hitter Kyleene Filimaua led the Seminoles with a season-best 23 kills, marking her second double-double of the season after adding 16 digs. She also finished with a match-high 24 points.

Sophomore middle blocker Nenu Kpea was dominant at the net, recording a career-high 17 kills while hitting .536. Florida State had four players record double-digit kills, including freshman outside hitter Sofia Moss, who set a new career high with 14 kills. Junior middle blocker Delaney Ewing added 10 kills while hitting a team-best .556 on 18 attempts.

Junior setter Emma Lilo paced the Seminole offense with a season-high 40 assists, while junior libero Maile Chan led all players with a career-high 17 digs.

Florida State opened the match by battling Kansas point-for-point, taking a 15-14 lead at the first media timeout. Kansas regained the advantage at 21-20, but Florida State closed the set on a 6-3 run to take the opening frame 26-24.

Kansas answered in the second set, with the Seminoles keeping the score close throughout. The Jayhawks held a 15-14 advantage at the media timeout before using a 3-0 run to extend their lead. Florida State battled to stay within striking distance, but Kansas closed the set, 25-21 to even the match.

The Jayhawks carried the momentum into the third set and continued to hold off the Seminoles down the stretch, taking the set 25-19 to move ahead 2-1.

Florida State responded in a back-and-forth fourth set. Kansas built an early 14-10 lead before the Seminoles answered with a 5-0 run to take their first lead since the opening points. The teams traded points late, eventually reaching a 22-22 tie. A solo block from Filimaua and a Kansas attack error gave Florida State set point at 24-22. The Jayhawks responded with three straight points to take a 25-24 lead. The Seminoles fought off two match points before kills from Filimaua and Moss gave Florida State another set point, which the Seminoles converted following a Kansas attack error to force a decisive fifth set.

The Seminoles carried that momentum into the final frame, breaking a 7-7 tie with three consecutive points to take a 10-7 lead. Kansas fought back to cut the deficit to one at 12-11, but Filimaua answered with back-to-back kills to give Florida State match point. Kansas trimmed the lead to 14-13, but Filimaua delivered once again, recording her 23rd kill of the night to clinch the five-set victory and complete the comeback against the No. 16 Jayhawks.

FSU Falls to FIU.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Florida State volleyball team (4-4) fell 3-0 to FIU (6-4) Sunday afternoon inside Tully Gymnasium.

Senior outside hitter Kyleene Filimaua led the Seminoles with 10 kills and eight digs, followed by sophomore middle blocker Nenu Kpea with nine kills and four blocks and junior middle blocker Delaney Ewing with eight kills and four blocks.

Junior setter Callie Kieffer recorded a match-high 17 assists, while sophomore outside hitter Victoria David paced the Seminoles with nine digs.

FIU opened the first set with a 14-7 lead and later extended the advantage to 16-8 before Florida State began to rally. Kills from Filimaua, Kpea, junior opposite hitter Johanna Sova and freshman outside hitter Sofia Moss, along with a combined block from Sova and Kpea, brought the Seminoles within 19-17. The Panthers responded with three consecutive points to push their lead back to 22-17. FSU twice cut the deficit to two points late in the set, but FIU held on for a 25-22 victory.

Florida State took a 9-6 lead in the second set behind kills from Ewing and Moss and a combined block from junior opposite hitter Bailey Higgins and Ewing. FIU rallied to tie the set at 14-14, and the teams remained even at 17-17 before the Panthers scored six straight points. The Seminoles answered with five consecutive points to pull within 23-22 with Filimaua opening the run with a kill before Kieffer served through a Sova kill and two blocks. After a Filimaua kill brought the Seminoles within one at 24-23, but the Panthers closed out the set 25-23.

Florida State took an early 5-2 lead in the third set behind a kill from Ewing and a block from Ewing and Higgins. FIU responded with four straight points and continued to build its lead, taking a 15-10 into the media break and eventually winning the set 25-16 to complete the 3-0 sweep.

Seminoles Take Down Lions in Straight Sets.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Florida State volleyball team (5-4) earned its first sweep of the season Monday night, defeating previously unbeaten North Alabama (10-1) 3-0 in Tully Gym.

In the first meeting between the two programs in Tully Gym and their first matchup since 1976, the Seminoles swept a Lions team that had only dropped two sets in its first 10 matches of the season.

Senior outside hitter Kyleene Filimaua led all players with 17 kills while hitting .429 and adding six digs. Freshman outside hitter Sofia Moss tied her career high with 14 kills and added a match-high 10 digs for her second career double-double.

Sophomore middle blocker Nenu Kpea recorded 10 kills while hitting a match-high .529 and added four blocks. Junior setter Emma Lilo finished with a season-high and match-high 44 assists.

Florida State jumped out to a 7-2 lead in the opening set and maintained its advantage throughout. North Alabama pulled within two at 16-14, but the Seminoles responded with a 5-1 run to take a 21-15 lead. FSU went on to win the set 25-18.

The Seminoles carried the momentum into the second set, opening with three straight points behind a kill and back-to-back blocks. North Alabama later tied the set at 7-7 before Florida State pulled away with a 6-1 run to take a 13-8 lead. The Seminoles extended their advantage to 22-15 before closing out the set 25-18 on a kill from Filimaua.

North Alabama opened the third set with a strong response, and the teams battled to a 9-9 tie. The Lions took a 16-11 lead, but a 6-2 FSU run and a Filimaua kill later tied the set at 18-18, and the Seminoles took control late, moving ahead 24-21 before Kpea finished the match with a kill to secure the 25-21 third-set victory and the 3-0 sweep.
