OMAHA, Neb. – Ole Miss volleyball made history Wednesday in its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance, beating No. 7-seed Florida State 3-2 for its first-ever NCAA tournament win.

The Rebels won the first round matchup 20-25, 25-16, 23-25, 27-25, 15-13 and will face the winner of No. 2-seed Creighton and South Dakota at 7 p.m. Friday.

But that’s not all the history that was made Wednesday.

Sasha Ratliff became the Rebels’ all-time, all-eras blocks leader, passing Genevieve Shy with 503 blocks in her senior season. The senior from Atlanta, Georgia broke a 28-year-old all-time record held by Shy, who competed from 1993 to 1996, tallying 502 blocks.

Ratliff will end her career as the program’s all eras block leader, as well as the rally scoring leader for solo blocks, block assists and total blocks, while ranking ninth all-time in kills.
