Wildcats Top Performers:

• Katie Spell wound up being the Cats' kills leader, collecting 11 (3.67 p/s) while hitting .286 as well as a block of her own.

 

• Kate Campbell was breathing down her teammate's neck at ten kills (3.33 p/s) and was a more efficient swinger over her 18 attempts (.444), chipping in a block assist too.

 

• Kierra Jones was as well-rounded as they come, tallying a season-high five digs (1.67 p/s), a tied for match-most two aces (0.67 p/s), plus a game-best four blocks (1.33 p/s) with a solo scattered among three assists.

 

• Emma Cother was brilliant in the club's return to campus, averaging just shy of ten assists per set (9.67 p/s, 29 total) and digging up a half-dozen balls (2.00 p/s) from hitting the court.

 

• Madison Danley needs just one more seven-dig outing (2.33 p/s) before winning the jackpot, tying her season-high for the second straight match to go along with a tied for career-high three assists (1.00 p/s).

 

• Angelina Medrano mainly came on as a service specialist and she crushed her role, picking up two crucial aces towards the end of the sets to close out JCU.
