GAME PREVIEW | ST. MARY’S VOLLEYBALL GAMEDAY

Rattlers return home hitting on all cylinders

Lauren Holman (9), a rising sophomore, ranks No. 4 in the Heartland Conference in blocks per set at 1.1.

BY ROBIN JOHNSON St. Mary’s Athletics

A

fter an 0-4 start to the season, St. Mary’s Volleyball has found its stride for the 2013 season, excelling in the Lubbock Christian Regional Crossover to improve to 3-5 on the season.

The tournament produced two Heartland Conference Players of the Week for the Rattlers that included a sweep over Midwestern State in the 3-1 week. Victorria Martinez earned the Libero of the Week honor, the fourth in her career, and freshman Rachael Scicchitano claimed the Setter of the

3 | www.RattlerAthletics.com

Week award.

Martinez and Scicchitano are not only among the top in the conference, but are the mark as Martinez is tied for No. 1 in digs per set (6.04) and Scicchitano leads the league in assists per set (8.93).

Entering the week as the No. 3 seed in overall record for league standings, the Rattlers as a whole are making a name for themselves in the conference. Currently, St. Mary’s is second in the league in both hitting percentage (.182) and blocks per set (2.32) and is No. 3 in assists per set (11.61).

A strong front row is evident in the dominance of Kelsey Huber, who leads the

Rattlers in kills with 98 to place No. 2 in the league for kills per set at 3.50.

Also key in the Rattlers’ defense has been Lauren Holman, who has a team-high 31 total blocks on the season with a team-high nine solo blocks, which is 10 away from her season block solo total last season. The sophomore is currently No. 4 in the conference for blocks per set (1.11) and is No. 3 in total blocks.

The Rattlers swept their first league opponent, provisional conference member Lubbock Christian, and will look for another tonight against provisional member McMurry.
