Floridas Allie Monserez doesnt tower over her teammates, and she isnt terribly flashy with her sets. Toss a compliment to the 5-foot-9 redshirt sophomore about leading the nation in assists per set and shes quick to tout her surrounding cast -- Carli Snyder, Alex Holston and Rhamat Alhassan, three of the best hitters in the game.But Gators coach Mary Wise will tell you Monserez, the espnW national volleyball player of the week, is awfully good, too.Shes a point guard whos not going to score a ton of points but can recognize the open player and can get them the ball and can do it without a whole lot of fanfare, Wise said. She just delivers a killable ball, and as the season has gone on, shes learned not just how but when to do it.In weekend victories over LSU and Texas A&M, Monserez recorded 89 assists. Also the SEC player of the week and the AVCA national player of the week, Monserez tied the mark for any SEC player this season in a four-set match with 57 assists against Texas A&M on Sunday. Monserez posted her third double-double of the season at LSU with 32 assists and a career-high 16 digs. Tenth-ranked Florida leads the SEC in hitting percentage at .323.Our hitters have been hitting at such a high efficiency, its been a really fun environment to be in, Monserez said. Having Alex, Rhamat and Carli up there, I have full faith and trust Im going to put it up, and theyre going to give it their best swing.Monserez started her career at South Carolina, averaging 4.87 assists and posting five double-doubles as a freshman before deciding the program wasnt the best fit for her. Gainesville was 90 minutes from her hometown, Windermere, and her sister, Madison, had been a defensive specialist for Florida, so the transfer to Wises perennial powerhouse was natural. She sat out last season, learning from Mackenzie Dagostino and watching the tendencies of Snyder, Holston and the otherworldly Alhassan, perhaps the most athletic middle blocker in the sport.Mackenzie was a great mentor, Monserez said. She was so composed on the court. Watching her really helped me.Wise said like Dagostino, Monserez is undersized, and she realizes how much harder she has to work, she said. She was here last summer. Alex, Carli, Rhamat and Allie, the time they put in the gym, without any coaches, was invaluable. We needed them to be on the same page. Allie is not 6-feet tall. Shes not a lefty. Shes never made a USA team. Shes just been the consummate stabilizer doing what she needs to do for the team to be successful.Although Monserez didnt travel in 2015, Snyder made her feel part of the team as soon as she set foot in Gainesville with a coffee invite. Monserez followed every road game religiously online and took part in the group text afterward. Repeated viewings of Cameron Diaz in The Holiday added to giggles and bonding with her teammates.Its crazy how 18 girls can be so close, she said. We all love the song Caroline by Amine. We all know all the words. So we sing that in the locker room before the games.Monserez grew up a tennis, basketball and volleyball player, starting out as a setter at age 7. Her family is full of athletes. In addition to Madison, her dad played basketball in Europe, one cousin played baseball at Xavier, while other cousins played basketball at Butler and Lehigh. Her mom, a Gator alumna, competes in the open tennis league in Orlando, and her younger sis, Marlie, has already committed to Florida volleyball for 2018.Allie and Marlie have never played together, but will get the chance when Allie is a senior and Marlie is a freshman.Theyll be lots of volleyball to play before then. Florida (17-2, 6-1), winner of 21 SEC titles under Wise, sits third behind unbeaten conference rivals Kentucky and Missouri.I see us having a really great season and making it to the final four, Monserez said. If were all playing Gator volleyball, I know something really special is going to happen this year. Blue Jays Jerseys 2019 .

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Louisville is looking to develop some take-charge guys early this season, and several candidates are emerging.Freshman forward V.J. King scored 17 points and Deng Adel added 16, including eight during Louisvilles 10-0 run to close the first half, to help the 12th-ranked Cardinals pull away from William & Mary for a 91-58 victory Monday night.Louisville (2-0) initially struggled against the Tribes up-tempo style, going scoreless for 3:06 and allowing William & Mary to pull to 34-31 with 2:13 remaining in the first half. Adel took charge over the final 1:31 with five free throws and a 3-pointer just before the break during the spurt that gave the Cardinals some space.Coach (Rick Pitino) kept telling me to keep shooting it because once you get out of the slump, the shots are going to fall, said Adel, who went 4 of 9 from the field and made all seven free throws after scoring just six points in Louisvilles opener.Once you see the ball go in the basket, it helps your confidence.Louisville then outscored William & Mary 10-2 over the first 4 1/2 minutes of the second half to open a 54-33 lead, and held the Tribe without a basket for nearly 6 minutes.William & Mary coach Tony Shaver pointed to Louisvilles late first-half run as the turning point for his team.Our execution those last 2 minutes of the half was terrible and we paid the price for that, Shaver said. We hadnt played that well the first 18 minutes and its a three-point game, so you have to feel good about that. But that spurt there really changed the complexion of the game.King helped the Cardinals cruise home by hitting a couple of 3-pointers down the stretch.If we just all play together and find each other, we all get easy shots and open shots like we did tonight, said King, who also had just six points on Friday. All of us can score, so (opponents) have to pick and choose who they have to defend.Quentin Snider and Jaylen Johnson, who scored a team-high 19 points in Louisvilles opener, each added 13 for the Cardinals, who held William & Mary (1-1) to 23 percent shooting in the seconnd half and 31 percent overall.dddddddddddd Mangok Mathiang had 10 rebounds and Johnson nine as the Cardinals topped the Tribe 49-42 on the boards.We played terrific defense tonight, Pitino said. We did a really good job of putting the pressure on and not fouling.Omar Prewitt and Nathan Knight had 14 points apiece for the Tribe, who shot 6 of 29 from 3-point range in losing their first meeting with Louisville in 64 years.THE BIG PICTUREWilliam & Mary: One game after making a school-record 22 steals against Bridgewater, the Tribe managed just two against Louisville. More importantly, they committed 16 turnovers that led to 22 points.Louisville: The Cardinals shot 46 percent and saw some bright spots in their perimeter shooting. They went 6 of 12 from beyond the arc in the second half after going 4 of 16 in the first 20 minutes, which followed a 3-of-15 showing in the opener.RIM PROTECTORSMathiang, playing his second game since December because of a foot injury, had five of Louisvilles 11 blocks to match a career high set Feb. 14, 2015, against North Carolina State. Cardinals guard Donovan Mitchell had four blocks.ROUGH HOMECOMINGWilliam & Mary had two players from Kentucky in guard/forward and team captain Prewitt and forward Jack Whitman. Their returns began with promise before Louisville took over and left them with 17 combined points. We just didnt execute, and that was probably more us than them, Prewitt said. I wanted to come out and play well with a lot of family here, and I knew a lot of Louisville players. It was exciting to play here.POLL IMPLICATIONSThursdays home game against Long Beach State might have a bigger impact on Louisvilles ranking next week.UP NEXTWilliam & Mary: Hosts Presbyterian on Saturday.Louisville: Hosts Long Beach State on Thursday. The Cardinals lead the series 2-0, with their most recent win over the 49ers coming on Dec. 30, 2014 (63-48).---The APs College Basketball page: collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
