The San José State volleyball team begins Mountain West play this week with two home matches. The team hosts defending MW champion UNLV on Thursday at 6 p.m., and San Diego State on Saturday at 1 p.m. Both matches will be played inside Spartan Gym, located in the YUH Complex.
The Spartans bring a two-match winning streak into the week after winning twice last week. The team swept San Francisco last Thursday and won 3-1 over UC San Diego last Saturday.
BUMP, SET, SPIKE
•Tough serving has been a staple of this year's team. The Spartans have recorded 11 or more aces in four matches this year, all wins for SJSU, - 13 against UC San Diego, 12 versus Santa Clara and 11 at Portland State and at Saint Mary's.
•The Spartans rank fifth nationally in aces per set at 2.24, and 40th in total aces with 76. Four Spartans have 10+ aces – Haylee Nelson, 17; Mia Schafer, 15; Amethyst Harper, 12; and Yazmin Pitpit, 10.
•Mia Schafer, running the Spartan offense, ranks among the best in the country as she is 13th nationally in assists per set at 11.11. The Spartans rank 39th nationally in assists per set.
•Latahevai Lousi became the 15th player in school history to record 1,000 career kills at San José State last week. She recorded her 1,000th kill in the 3-0 win over San Francisco and begins this week with 1,017 kills, and needs just 29 more to move into 14th place with Melissa Myers.
•The next 1,000 countdown moves to Sarah Smevog who begins the week with 935 digs in her three-plus years as a Spartan. When she reaches 1,000 career digs, Smevog will be the ninth player in school history to reach the milestone.
