Season-Best
Cecilia Stack's eight blocks in the win over Campbell tied Julia Loveday for the most on the team this season in a single match. Stack's four solo blocks are a team single-match season-best.
Nearing 1,000 Digs
Cara Guthrie already has surpassed 1,000 kills in her career earlier this season, but she is nearing joining the ultra-exclusive club of those with 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs. After the win over Campbell, Guthrie now has 989 digs in her career. Guthrie, who currently has 1,202 kills, would become just the 12th in UNC Asheville volleyball history to have over 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs.
Guthrie in the Big South Record Books
Cara Guthrie with 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs would become just the 46th in Big South Conference history to have 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs in her career. Guthrie also currently has 131 aces in her career, meaning that with 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs she would become just the 35th in league history with over 1,000 kills, 1,000 digs and 100 aces.
Career-Best
Madisen Zyburt surpassed 400 digs on the year in the win over Campbell. Her 407 digs this season with two regular-season matches remaining are a career-best for her and currently mark the ninth-most digs in a single season in UNC Asheville's rally scoring era (since 2008).
Quotable
"It was a phenomenal match," UNC Asheville volleyball head coach Frederico Santos said. "What a performance by our team against a very tough Campbell team. I know the manner in which we played today did not allow or show what Campbell can really do, but that's why it should be considered a dominating performance by us because of the way we played. I'm super-proud of the girls. I'm proud of the seniors. Cara Guthrie has been here from the start and she is a special player. She worked with me and my dad both during her freshman year and we always knew she was going to be special. Madisen Zyburt came to us as a transfer and she has quickly become another force to be reckoned with. I'm proud that we won today, but I'm more proud that we could win on Senior Day."
Up Next
UNC Asheville volleyball will next host USC Upstate at the Justice Center at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 6.
