WCC RELEASE | PEPPERDINE WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL RECORD BOOK
SAN BRUNO, Calif. — After setting the all-time Pepperdine record for most blocks in a single match through both the rally scoring and sideout scoring eras, freshman Jasmine Gross of the Pepperdine women's volleyball team, has earned her first career West Coast Conference Player of the Week nod as announced by the conference office this Monday morning.
Gross (Portland, Ore./Jesuit HS) had a stellar week for the Waves, tabbing 15 blocks and 15 kills in a double-double performance to propel the team to a five-set comeback win over Pacific at home. The middle blocker broke the all-time Pepperdine record for most blocks in a single match, which in the rally scoring era stood since October 17, 2003 when current Director of Operations Lyndsey Weisenberg (Haché) posted 13 against Gonzaga on the road. The all-time record including the sideout scoring era has stood since 1996 and 1991 when Carrie Romer did it against Colorado State at home and Lesli Asplund did it against Santa Clara at home respectively.
Gross performed highly in both the matches the Waves played at home this week, first helping the team to a straight-set sweep over Saint Mary's after producing eight kills on a .500 hitting percentage (8-1-14) and tabbing nine block assists and an ace. Then, she stunned in the reverse-sweep win over Pacific, collecting her first-ever double-double with 15 kills and 15 blocks. She amassed a .333 success rate on the attack (15-4-33), while adding an ace, along with one block solo and 14 block assists.
In eight sets played, the Portland native put up a .383 hitting percentage, while averaging 2.88 kills/set, 3.00 blocks/set, 0.75 digs/set and 0.25 aces/set for 4.69 points/set.
This week, the Waves hit the road to challenge Portland and Gonzaga on November 3 and 5. Find live stats and stream here: http://gowav.es/2bT5hVh. Follow the Waves on Facebook and Twitter @WavesVolleyball for immediate updates, recaps and more.
