QUICK HITTERS

The Cougars sport an 11-10 all-time record against Hofstra after the Pride edged CofC in five sets at the 2021 CAA Championship. Hofstra has won four of the last five meetings in the all-time series.
Sophomore Tynley has been superb over the last seven matches averaging just under five (4.95) digs per set to move up to fourth in the CAA rankings. The Savannah, Ga. native covered seemingly every inch of the court in CofC's 3-1 win over UNCW on Sept. 24 recording at least seven digs in each of the contest's four sets to finish with a match- and career-high 31 digs.
Senior middle blocker Emma Falk has been a force at the net over the last three weekends accumulating more than half (35 of 59) of her season total in the last seven matches. The Niwot, Colo. native equaled her career-high of nine against Charleston Southern on Sept. 16 and finished with five in each of Charleston's two wins at UNCW on Sept. 24 and 25.
Senior Gabi Bailey reached a significant personal milestone last Sunday against Delaware putting down the 500th kill as a Cougar. The Harvard, Mass. native leads the team in both total kills (154) and kills per set (3.08) through 17 matches.
