Freshman setter Rachael Smith had a big week setting up the Knights in their two wins last week, getting 35 assists in the three-set sweep of Chaminade and then topping 50 assists for the third time this season against the Lady Penguins on Saturday with 52 sets. Smith also tied a career-high with four kills on six attempts against Dominican.

Smith now has 561 assists, already the third-best season total of all time for the Urban Knights, and they still have ten games left on the schedule. She is averaging just under nine assists per set and has also added 111 digs to her stat sheet.
