Match Notes
- Parkside hit just .156 (54-29-160), the third-worst clip by an opponent this season, while Davenport hit .268 (53-15-142), its third-best mark of the fall.
- The Panthers especially came to life in the third and fourth frames where they hit .378 and .324, respectively.
- The Rangers best offensive period came in the second when they hit .268 and came back from a five-point deficit (13-8 and 14-9).
- Kreiger continues to pace the Panther attack and did so with her 15th career double-double.
- The senior outside hitter also made it four matches in a row with at least 15 kills, her longest stretch of the season.
- Hayley needs just 26 kills to jump Kassie Graves and move into sole possession of fifth place on the program's career kills chart.
- Groves turned in her best effort of the season with 12 kills (tied season high) as she hit above .400 (and .300) for the first time this fall.
- Behind those two, it was an important night for Coppess who, in her fourth season as a collegiate volleyball player, is capitalizing on the opportunity and did so with 10 kills and a blistering .409 hitting percentage on Friday night.
- Webb tied her career high in service aces with four, her first four since 2019, and made it three matches in a row with four or more blocks, her longest stretch of the season.
