With her 18th dig in the fourth set, she eclipsed 1,000 career digs for her career.

Elmhurst enters Tuesday with a 4-12 overall record and 1-4 mark in league play. The Bluejays were narrowly defeated at home in their last outing, falling to defending national champion UW-Eau Claire by a final of 3-2. The Bluejays have lost 10 of 11 matches and are currently enduring a four-match losing streak. Their last win came back on September 27, a 3-2 win over North Central, which currently serves as the Cardinals' lone loss in conference.
