GREAT FALLS, Mont. –
Sacha Legros broke the program record for career digs Tuesday night, as the #9 University of Providence volleyball team took down Carroll College in four sets (17-25, 25-12, 25-15, 25-18).
Legros recorded 26 digs during the match, putting her career total at 1699. The previous record was 1680, held by Kari Schiller.
"She's been a cornerstone during our whole run these last couple of years," head coach
Arunas Duda said. "She is instrumental in everything that we do. She's a great leader on and off the court. Her ball control is amazing. She's flying around making plays all the time. She's a kid that you'd pick to hang out. She's just an all-around kid and is super important to our program. We're proud to call her an Argo. I'm super proud of her."
After having over a ten-day break, the Argos (17-2, 4-0) looked a little sluggish in the first set. They responded strong in the second set, ripping off two different runs of six straight points on the way to a 25-12 rout.
"We had a hard time finding our rhythm in the first set, but after that we fell back into rhythm the way we've been playing the last couple of weeks," Duda said. "I was really pleased with how they responded after dropping that first set. They came out and won the next three."
Jenna Thorne continued her hot streak, recording 18 kills on a .341 hitting percentage.
Madysen Hoerner added 11 kills while
Sadie Lott notched seven.
Cydney Finberg-Roberts recorded 38 assists and 14 digs on the day.
Mariah Jardine led the defense at the net, recording six blocks while Lott added four.
Lexie Gleasman led the attack for the Saints (10-11, 3-2) with 12 kills. Hannah Schweikert recorded 18 assists while Julia Carr recorded 33 digs.
The win marks ten straight for the Argos, who will get a few days of practice under their belt before taking on Rocky Mountain College in Billings, Mont. on Saturday. First serve will take place at 2:00 p.m.
"It'll be nice to have some time to go through and fix some of the things that we struggled with today," Duda said. "Certainly I thought the girls responded well. It will be nice to get back into the gym and get into a routine again and hopefully continue the streak."
