Match Notes
- Davenport's offense warmed up as the match progressed with hitting percentages, in order, of .147, .281 and .462.
- The Panthers have won seven of their last eight matches and in those seven victories, they've hit at least .205 in six of them and at least .274 in five of them.
- Meanwhile, PNW's -.011 is the lowest clip for a DU opponent since the Pride hit -.043 against the Panthers in the spring.
- Kreiger needs just three kills for 1,300 in her career (done just four times in DU history) and 62 for 1,359, which would put her in sole possession of fourth place in program history, passing Molly Lameyer.
- Kreiger is also up to 407 kills for the season, which passed Krissy Dill's mark of 406 set in 2016, and is good for eighth in a single season.
- The Panthers' single-season record is 493 set by Hannah Stone in 2014 (45 matches played) and Kreiger is guaranteed at least two more matches to move up the chart.
- Turnquist has tallied eight or more kills in back-to-back matches for the first time in her career and has sent home seven or more in five matches.
- The freshman also tied her career high in blocks with four, something she also did against Hillsdale.
- Groves and Corstange each came within one of their career high for service aces with three apiece.
- Coppess set a new personal best for blocks with six, her highest being four (Hillsdale) coming into this match.
- Odeen registered 20 or more assists in back-to-back efforts for the first time since the two matches on Sept. 4 (Oklahoma Baptist & UMSL) when she had 43 and 23.
