- Leah Stamps fronted the defense per usual, going for a contest-best 18 digs (4.50 p/s) while on the flip side of the coin, Kate Campbell smashed a dozen kills despite playing just three of the four sets for an even 4.00 average.
Record Book Watch:
Career
- Cother ranks fifth on the program's block assist leaderboard after the match at 52 and also climbed up to sixth for digs as well with 588.
- Spell was one of the three Wildcats with a trio of aces, in the process she tied teammate Jessica Smith (2022-24) and alum I'Nyah Kately (2018-21) regarding sixth place all-time (52).
Team
- The Orange and Blue only trail the 2022 team for combined service aces as they have recorded 144 through 24 matches on top of logging the third-most blocks (112), and fourth-highest number of kills (839) plus assists (759).
Season
- Jones wound up breaking her own single-season records from both 2023 and 2022 in terms of block assists, putting her alone at the top and with all of the top-three marks with 49 (and growing) to go along with tying for fourth on the aces list with Cother's 28 from this current campaign.
- Stamps is making a strong push for the single-season digs record, rising into the top-three by recording 333 and only needs another 42 digs to overtake Olivia Huval's (2017) crown with seven regular season matches still to go.
- Revell swatted away her seventh solo block of the year, placing her on the ladder in that statistic, sitting on the eighth rung.
