  • The Govs finished 2018 with a in regular-season play. They are the second APSU team to finish a regular-season home schedule unbeaten (1992, 13-0). In addition, they are one of 13 Division I teams with an active double-digit home win streak (13 games).

  • Junior libero was named OVC Co-Defensive Player of the Week, Monday, after averaging 6.22 digs per set. She posted a career-high 30 digs in the five-set win at EKU and preceded that with a 26-dig effort at Murray State that was her career best in a four-set match.
