LAST TIME OUT

William & Mary fell to N.C. A&T 3-1 on Saturday at Kaplan Arena. Sophia Van Name led the Tribe with a career-high 13 kills on a .345 hitting percentage.

STAT LEADERS
Avery Horejsi ranks second in the CAA with 4.02 digs per set, placing her just outside the top-100 nationally.

Olivia Westfort ranks sixth in the conference in hitting percentage at .334. Over a full season, that would place her tied for second all-time in the modern scoring era (2008-present).

LAYING BRICKS
Audrey Brcka's 24 kills against North Florida on Sep. 13 were the most by any CAA player this season and the most by a Tribe player since Kate Dedrick had 25 against Elon on Feb. 26, 2021. Brcka hit a white-hot .442 in the match as she was named to the Mountaineer Classic All-Tournament team.

STUFFING THE STAT SHEET
Westfort recorded eight blocks in the Tribe's win over ETSU on Sep. 5, including three solo. That is the most blocks by any CAA player in a three-set match this season.

FIRST WIN FOR COACH
William & Mary defeated Virginia Tech in five sets on opening day to secure the first career win for head coach Kellie Catanach Johnson. It marked the Tribe's first victory over a Power Four opponent since 2016, and its first win over the Hokies since 2000.

CRAFTED BY CATE
Cate Hatfield poured in a career-high 44 assists against Virginia Tech in just her second career start. She later recorded 50 assists in a match vs. Stony Brook on Sep. 19, the most by a Tribe player since Kate Van Houten on March 20, 2021.

CAREER MILESTONE
Brcka reached the 500-kill mark for her career against Virginia Tech, delivering a match-high 18 kills. The senior captain leads the Tribe in kills (167) and points (189.0).

PRESEASON LAURELS
Two Tribe players earned preseason recognition from the league as senior opposite hitter Katherine Arnason earned Preseason All-CAA honors while graduate libero Avery Horejsi was an honorable mention selection.

Arnason had 250 kills last season which ranked second on the team. She averaged 2.53 kills per set while racking up 76.0 blocks and 298.0 points. The Marine on St. Croix, Minn. native also posted a .234 hitting percentage.

Horejsi had a highly productive first season in Williamsburg, finishing third in the CAA in digs (455) and digs per set (4.60). Both figures rank second-most in a single season during the modern scoring era (2008-present).

It marks the fourth straight year the Tribe has had representation on the Preseason All-CAA squad, equaling the program's longest streak set from 2008-11.

SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
Elon is 8-10 overall and 5-3 in the CAA. The Phoenix is coming off a sweep of Northeastern last weekend. Senior outside hitter Cameron Lanier leads the team and ranks top-100 in Division I in both kills (232) and points (266.5).

The Tribe has won the last five matchups against the Phoenix and leads the all-time series 13-12.
