It would turn out to be a good weekend for Tomic: Two days later, the blue-and-gold team gave the coach her 100th coaching victory at FIU when it beat SBC rival Middle Tennessee, 3-1 (25-20, 27-29, 25-20, 26-24).
FIU now is 14-2 (4-0) on the season.
“It’s a great win for us,” Tomic said. “Middle Tennessee is always a tough team to play. We expected a match like this – a real fight, point for point. Opponents like Middle Tennessee make you better and I’m glad that we were tested and we passed the test. I’m very happy with this win.”
Up next for the Golden Panthers is a home game against Florida Atlantic on Oct. 6 at 6:30 p.m. The team then will hit the road for matches against Denver and North Texas on Oct. 9 and Oct. 11, respectively.
