Junior outside hitter Clara Vido continued her double-digit success by totaling 17 kills and 11 digs against New Mexico State on Sept. 20, notching her third double-double of the season and the 17th of her Lady Techster career. Most recently, Calderon and Coelho recorded another double-double each in the team’s match against Utah State last Thursday night.

THAT’S KILLER!Vido continues to lead the charge for first among all Techsters with 121 kills.

Benditz is tied for the team lead in kills per set with 2.24 with Vido and has totaled 83 this season.

BLOCK FEST!Junior Caitlin Germany has recorded a combined 42.0 blocks to-date this season, which gives her the lead for the most by a Lady Techster this season with sophomore Maria Coelho following close behind. Coelho is averaging 0.64 blocks/game for the 2012 campaign with 38.0 total blocks.

ON THE ROAD AGAINAfter the team’s two-match homestand, the Lady Techsters hit the road again for two straight conference matches against the UTSA Roadrunners and Texas State.
