Taliyah Hanks lead the team with 3.75 blocks per set, while Zoe Reeves achieved 8.5 digs per set. Riley Ketchum lead the team in hitting percentage with hitting .374. McKenna Bradley lead the team in assist attempts with an average 12.5 sets per set. For those who don’t know volleyball, these stats are very impressive.
