Record, Career-Best Showings Lift AU Into Great Midwest Tournament

Ashland University's volleyball team used a number of career-best matches on Friday (Nov. 5) night at Cedarville to take a 3-1 (25-17, 25-21, 24-26, 25-14) decision and earn a spot in the 2021 Great Midwest Athletic Conference Tournament.
 
The Eagles, who also inched closer to a Great Midwest South Division title, are 14-12 overall and 10-3 in the league, while the Yellow Jackets are 9-12, 6-8.
 
WHAT HAPPENED
  • One of the career-high numbers posted on Friday night was a new school record. Sophomore libero Katie Thompson had 40 digs in the victory, shattering the previous record of 33 set by Kaitlin Bean on Sept. 7, 2018 vs. Davenport.
  • On offense, senior outside hitter Heidi Fausze blew past her previous career-high in kills (12) with 20 on Friday night. Finally, on defense, junior middle blocker Anna Krikke tied her career-best with five total blocks.
  • Senior outside hitter Erin Krupar (15) and freshman right-side hitter GraceAnn Hartman (12) joined Fausze with double-digit kills, while senior setter Zoey Peck added 43 assists.
  • In addition to Thompson, junior defensive specialist Stephanie Smith (16), Krupar (12) and Peck (11) all ended with double-digit digs – a big reason for Cedarville finishing with a team hitting percentage of .029.
 
UP NEXT
Ashland's last road match of the regular season will be Saturday (Nov. 6) at 5:30 p.m. at Ohio Dominican (16-11, 9-5).
