She also contributed 2 solo blocks and 1 assist block but was able touch and help slow down on 15 other attacks from the Dust devils of TAMIU. Libero Stephanie Castro finished the match with 8 digs which moved her into third place in total digs for a season at 311 and she still has 20 matches to go. Junior setter Adrienne Ringer who directs the Lady Rams offense had 21 assists giving her at season total of 364 and moving her into third place for assists in a season and her 7.91 assist per game moves her into first place in that category.
