Kelsey Robinson led Simon Fraser University to its second straight Great Northwest conference win and fourth this season in women’s volleyball last week.
The SFU junior had 24 individual kills to lead the Clan to a five-set victory over visiting Montana State Billings on Oct. 24.
Robinson, who is currently third in the conference in kills per game, also recorded 18 digs in a match that came down to a 16-14 tiebreaker.
Alanna Chan led the Clan in digs with 25. Chan is also second in the conference in service aces, averaging 0.39 per game.
Tamara Nipp and Brooklyn Gould-Bradbury had 30 and 25 assists, respectively, to help out the Clan cause.
“We knew we had to keep our heads in the game and to focus on the next play. We just needed to get the job done,” said SFU’s Amanda Renkema, who finished the five-setter with 13 kills.
On Saturday, SFU lost a four-set matchup with third-place Seattle Pacific.
Robinson led the Clan in kills with 21 winners and digs with 17.
SFU dropped the opening set 25-19, but tied the match 25-21 with a second-set win.
The third set was tied on 14 separate occasions before SPU prevailed 25-23.
The loss dropped the Clan’s overall record to 9-7 and 4-6 in the Great Northwest conference.
The Clan is away from home next week.
