She also broke the school's single-season mark in the five-game victory against the Bobcats. The two-time All-SLC performer followed that effort with 34 digs (8.5 pg) against Texas-Arlington on Saturday, which was her 10th 30-dig performance of the season
She now owns UTSA's single-match (42), single-season (701) and career (2,246) records, all of which have been set this year. Her career total ranks among the top 10 in NCAA history.
