With this performance, she now has a total of 1,272 career digs, having posted double-digit digs in all but two matches. Scott has been on a roll recently, recording a total of 29 digs in the last two matches against Pitt and Georgia Tech.
Glock played a pivotal role in Louisville’s 3-1 victory over Georgia Tech, tallying 41 assists, a kill, and two aces. The Nebraska native averaged 10.25 assists per set, guiding her team’s offense to a .235 hitting percentage in the match, which included two deuce sets.
