  • The Cardinals have been on a rampage from behind the service line as of late, totaling 19 aces in the last two games, with 1.63 per set over the previous four matches. Samantha Thompson posted a career-best five on Tuesday, the most by a Cardinal since 2015, while her 18 on the season are the most since Alix Weigel's 23 in 2017.

  • The Cardinals are one of the top blocking teams in the GLVC, entering with 191.5 total, fifth best in the league and 38th in Division II, after putting up 13 on Tuesday. Chloe Robison leads the way with 82 rejections while Johnson has 72 and Garrison 52, to give Jewell three players with at least 50 blocks for the first time since 2018. 
  • Hannah Cope is up to a career-best 481 assists this season, putting her 56 from 1,000 for her career, which would make her the fifth player in the NCAA era to reach the milestone and first since 2017. The junior is 12th in the GLVC with 5.87 assists per set.
