She averaged 4.17 kills per set and attacked at a .266 percentage for the week while adding a double-double against Canyons and 28 digs overall for the week. She also added six blocks and two service aces during the week.

The Warriors return to action Wednesday night at the ECC South Gym as they host Cuesta for a non-conference tilt. First serve is set for 6 p.m.
