The senior middle blocker belted 21 kills in a five-set win over Southern Maine on Thursday and posted seven total blocks in a sweep over Plymouth State on Tuesday. She currently ranks as the NCAA DIII leader with 1.67 blocks per match and was selected as the SJC Autumn Invitational Most Valuable Player for the tourney-champion Monks on Saturday.
