Number of the Day
1,000 - Among active players, only 3 have over 1,000 kills. Patrick Rogers (Ball State) has 1,044 and Shane Wetzel (Ohio State) sits just ahead of him at 1,068.1 But they both trail Dillon Klein (USC) at 1,105.
Yesterday’s Scores
Non-conference
CSUN (82%) def. Fort Valley State (18%)
3-0 (25-16, 25-22, 25-14)
I know Jalen Phillips is always talked about (15-2-20 and .650), but there is a reason. Let’s also give some love to Grayson Albers who finished with 8-0-12 (.667) because errorless performances are incredible.
St. Thomas (FL) (75%) def. Lees-McRae (25%)
3-1 (25-18, 18-25, 25-20, 25-18)
Davide Nicolini (LMC) led all players with 18 kills, a career-high for the freshman out of Italy.
