Middle blocker Georgia Dobson brings exceptional efficiency to the net, swinging for a team-high .452 hitting percentage while tallying 126 kills, 18 service aces, and 27 blocks. Setter Lauren Pickett orchestrates the system, accumulating 595 assists at 8.38 assists per set while recording 24 service aces and contributing 182 digs.
Outside hitter Finley Sparks provides strong two-way production, matching with 126 kills and adding 143 digs. Defensive specialist Lauren Jacob anchors the back row with a team-leading 276 digs and 58 assists, supported by Eliza Hicks who has registered 140 digs and 11 service aces.

Laney Inman rounds out the frontline attack with 98 kills and 21 blocks, completing a well-balanced roster as the team looks to finish its extended road swing on a high note before returning to the confines of Mary Mars Gymnasium this upcoming weekend.
