Senior outside hitter Courtney Smith picked up 24 appearances for the court volleyball team this year, tallying 126.5 points. She's currently at 64 appearances total (40 in beach volleyball) for the Panthers.  

Junior Akira Burt was the only member of the roster entering her third season on the team, and she heads into her senior season having logged 77 matches for the Panthers. 

If the season is over, freshman libero Marta Lazzarin has made history on two counts: Her 536 digs on the season is the #3 mark in school history, behind only 581 (Emily Averbeck in 2013) and 566 (Celeste Friersen in 2017). And her 5.21 digs/set is the #2 mark in school history, behind only Averbeck's 5.26 in 2012.  Lazzarin and Averbeck are now the only two Panther volleyballers to tally at least five digs/set in a season. 

In terms of triple-digit reception attempts, freshman Marta Lazzarin is at .967 across 418 attempts (just 14 errors) while redshirt freshman Hady Pickard is at .964 across 167 attempts (6 errors) and senior Nazli Guvener is at .961 across 490 attempts (19 errors). There are a few with perfect reception records but with less than 100 attempts: Freshman Rayne Williams (25-for-25) Sophomore Kamryn Itzen (19-for-19) Grad student Maria Cecilia de Pinho (18-for-18) Redshirt sophomore Jayden Eaker (8-for-8) Junior Akira Burt (7-for-7) Freshman Ava Casey (1-for-1) And in terms of total attempts, Guvener's 490 leads the team and second is Alessia Cappai , one of the seniors, with 470. 

Freshman Marta Lazzarin has 478 digs on the season so far, which is the new ninth-best mark in a season in Panther history (Christen Garcia's 473 digs in 2005 is the new tenth-best mark). Eighth in a season is 482, set by Lauren Bandera in 2019.
