FORT MYERS, Fla. '" Sophomore outside hitter Brooke Youngquist had 13 kills and a career-high 23 digs to lead Florida Gulf Coast University (3-0) to a 3-1 win over Dowling College (2-3) in NCAA Division II volleyball action Monday night. The Eagles rallied past the Golden Lions 29-31, 30-26, 30-24, and 30-15 in front of a home opening crowd of 1,011 fans at Alico Arena. Dowling, a regional finalist a year ago coming off a 3-2 upset of #3 Barry University on Sunday, stormed out early in game one and held on for the two-point victory behind five kills from outside hitter Marta Slodnik. But Youngquist rallied the Eagles with six kills and six digs in the second game to tie the match 1-1 and the Eagles rolled to their third consecutive win. Eagles'™ senior hitter Devon Watts also posted a double-double, recording a match-high 16 kills and 19 digs.

The Eagles hit .212 for the match while holding the Golden Lions to a .040 attack percentage. The crowd set a new volleyball single-match attendance record.
