Match Notes
- In quite possibly her finest effort of the season, Kreiger led the team or tied for the squad lead in kills, hitting percentage, service aces, blocks, and digs.
- Kreiger went for 25 or more kills for the sixth time in her career and re-broke her own school record for kills in a three-set match from 21 to 25.
- In those previous five matches with 25 or more kills, Kreiger's highest hitting percentage was .370, a mark she crushed on Saturday.
- Like a fine wine, the graduate outside hitter is now hitting .267 for the season, the highest single-season mark of her career.
- Taylor hit at least .300 with 10 more kills for the fourth time this season, but first time in back-to-back matches.
- Beginning to find her stride a bit, Turnquist hit .500 with three kills on Friday and .400 with four kills on Saturday.
- Odeen's 19 assists are a season high and make it seven matches in a row with at least 10, tying her streak to open the season.
- Kreiger also made it nine double-doubles for the season and 27 for her career.
- Corstange became the ninth member of Davenport's 1,000 digs club after getting the 16 she needed on Saturday.
- As a team, Davenport hit .281, the team's second-highest mark this season and best against a GLIAC foe.
- That means the Panthers are 6-0 when hitting at least .250 and 11-1 when hitting at least .200 this season.
