Huth showcased herself as one of the most feared offensive threats in the Lone Star Conference in helping lead the Angelo State Belles to three wins last week over Incarnate Word, West Texas A&M and Eastern New Mexico. Huth, who now has 232 kills this season, had a season-high 21 kills in ASU's four-set win over WT and finished the week with 42 kills and an astonishing .500 hitting percentage in 10 sets played. Huth has been on a tear in LSC play this season offensively, but also with her blocking on defense. Huth had 11 blocks last week and also added three aces for good measure.
Wilt was everywhere last week for Angelo State in the team's wins over Incarnate Word, West Texas A&M and Eastern New Mexico. Wilt finished the week with 78 digs for a 7.80 digs per set average. Her 41 digs against West Texas A&M in a four-set match established a new career record for the sophomore who went over the 1,000 dig mark in her career in Saturday's match against ENMU. Wilt also had two aces and six assists last week.
Woolsey continues to lead a potent Angelo State offense at the setter position and help the team cross goals off its list. Woolsey was instrumental in three wins over Incarnate Word, West Texas A&M and Eastern New Mexico last week with 132 assists (13.20 per set), including 55 in a four-set win over WT. Woolsey now has 4,691 assists in her illustrious career at ASU and is only 95 assists from becoming the all-time leader in Belle history.
Angelo State (22-3, 15-1 LSC) returns to action at 7 p.m. on Friday at Incarnate Word before playing at 1 p.m. on Saturday at Texas A&M-Kingsville.
