The Bay Minette, Ala., native totaled 64 kills over the span of four matches during the week for the Blue and Gold. She capped the quartet of matches with a career-high 22 kills in the five-set contest with Augusta University on Saturday, Sept. 16. It marks the third time in her career she's totaled 20-plus kills in a match.
