BREAKING OFF A NEW HUNDO

Sierra Bartley and Eve Kerschenbaum have both surpassed the 100-kill mark on the season now, with 105 each on the year. Currently, both are averaging over 2.40 kills per set: that has happened just twice in the last five years. Kerschebaum (3.46 K/S) and Rachel Stark (2.85 K/S) reached that mark in 2019, as did Matea Mamic (3.32 K/S) and Katarina Marinkovic (3.32 K/S) in 2016.

NO ERRORS ALLOWED

Sierra Bartley had just one error last match, her third match this year with one or fewer errors. Bartley has made more than two errors in just five of 12 matches this year: in just one of those matches did Bartley have fewer than 20 total attacks. Bartley's .256 hitting percentage would be the highest in a season by a Redhawk since Maja Stojanovic's .276 mark in 2018.

DOUBLE DOUBLES ARE GOOD

Amaris Carter and Darian Goins each put up double-doubles at Eastern Washington. For Carter, it was the fifth of her career and second this season. Goins also has two this year: the last setter with more was Ezgi Ozkan, who had five double-doubles  in 2019.

CAN YOU DIG IT

Katlyn Sipes has double-digit digs in four consecutive games now after picking up 13 against Chicago State. Sipes had 69 digs in her first seven matches: in the last four, she has 68. The last Redhawk with more consecutive double-digit dig games was Tijana Milojevic, who did so in seven matches last season. The last freshman with more consecutive double-digit dig games was also Milojevic, who did so in 23 consecutive matches in 2017.

GOINS SO SNEAKY

Darian Goins continued her hot streak, going her ninth consecutive match without an error. Goins has ten kills in her last five matches after recording three kills and two errors in her first seven matches. Goins has at least one kill in three straight matches, hitting over .500 every time.
