Another Killer Weekend for Volleyball

A career-high performance from junior Briget Wells sealed Tulane's victory against Memphis on Sunday. In culmination with Friday's win against UAB the Green Wave is now 13-3 with a perfect 3-win conference record.

Sunday's match at Memphis, Tenn., 3-1 (30-27, 30-22, 26-30,30-27) saw three Tulane players hit double digit kills; Wells set her personal best with 21 kills, and outside hitters Sara Radosevic and Ksenija Vlaskovic each had 19. Junior Lauren Boatright matched her career-best of five blocks and beat her kill-high with 9.

"This Memphis squad is as tough as always, they are one of the toughest opponents in the league and in this region," coach Kritza said. "It took an all out full team effort including some timely advice and game adjustments from assistants coaches, to come out with a victory today."

Tulane swept UAB last Friday at Fogelman Arena, 3-0 (30-28, 30-17, 30-24). Vlaskovic lead the team with 19 kills, while Wells hit 13 at a .312 percentage. Sophomores Rachel Lindlow and Luna Rebrovic made 24 and 25 assists, respectively. Libero Jenn Miller, two time C-USA Defensive Player of the Week, carved out 15 digs.

"It was nice to see our more-experienced players come through," Kritza said. "There's always room for improvement."
