RIT senior outside hitter Sarah Szybist became the Tigers' all-time school record holder in kills with 1,998, snapping the previous mark of 1,973 held by RIT Athletes Hall of Famer Tracy Wilt, who played from 1995-98. She recorded 121 kills (5.39/set) and hit .298 with 6.57 points/set and 76 digs (3.62/set) in a 3-2 week and was named to the Marcia French All-Tournament Team. Szybist had two matches with at least 30 kills, including 37, the second most in a match in her career in a five-set win over Mount Union Saturday. Szybist also tallied a career-high 32 digs to go along with 31 kills in a five-set win over Denison on Friday. She is the first Tiger to record a 30-30 match in two decades. Szybist is two kills shy of 2,000 for her career.
