Outside hitter Victoria Howell continued to change the way the Wildcats play since returning from injury. The senior finished with team highs of eight kills and four aces. Freshman middle blocker Daniela Diaz also made an impact with four kills and three blocks. Senior setter Sara Vela piled up three kills, 20 assists, a block and an ace, while sophomore Aracely Garza finished with five kills and three aces.
