ATTEMPTING THE SWEEP

Melina Tedrow plays a key role in the defensive effort with 5.42 digs-per-set, putting her at 15th nationally and second in the MVC.

Freshman setter Chloe Mason leads Indiana State in total assists on the season, tallying 477 through 24 matches (85 sets) for an average of 5.61 assists-per-set, which is ninth in the conference. Mary Hannah Lewis helps split the work load with Mason, as she has tallied 348 assists on the year for 4.46 assists-per-set.
