LAST TIME OUT
Sacred Heart was perfect last weekend in a pair of matches at Notre Dame High School. SHU dispatched Rider first in four sets on Saturday before sweeping Saint Peter's on Sunday. With the two wins, SHU improved to 3-0 in home matches this season. 

RECORD DAY
The Pioneers had a record day against Rider this past Saturday, tying or breaking four four-set program records. Camryn Luginbuhl led the charge, setting new program highs with 30 kills and 30.0 points against the Broncs. She tied her career-high in kills, which she set in five sets against Kent State on Sept. 7. In honor of her impressive week, Luginbuhl was named the MAAC Player of the Week. 

In addition to Luginbuhl, the Pioneers tied two four-set program records. Sacred Heart racked up 73 kills and 69 assists against the Broncs, tying four-set highs for the team. Gaby Zovko was key to SHU tying the assists record, as she assisted on 51 of the team's 73 kills, two shy of her career high.

NATIONAL CHECK-IN
Following a successful weekend, the Pioneers continued to climb the national leaderboards in numerous statistical categories. Luginbuhl is now seventh in the country with 342 kills and eighth with 384.5 points. With her fourth triple-double of the season against Rider, Zovko became the eighth Division I player with four triple-doubles this year. 

WELCOME TO THE NEW PITT
Saturday's match will mark a historic moment for Sacred Heart athletics as the Pioneers' women's volleyball team will be the first to play at the newly renovated William H Pitt Center. The Pitt has been offline since the 2024 NEC Women's Basketball Championship on Mar. 17, when SHU won its second consecutive league title.
