RICHARDSON, Texas – The No. 3 Angelo State University volleyball team earned another weekly accolade in the final week of the regular season, as junior setter
Gabi Ashcraft was named the Lone Star Conference Setter of the Week, the league announced Tuesday morning.
Ashcraft, an elementary education major from Rockwall, Texas, averaged 6.50 assists per set to help lead the Blue and Gold to a .310 hitting percentage and a pair of road sweeps over Texas A&M-Kingsville and Texas A&M International. She also recorded 21 digs and one service ace during the two-match stretch.
The junior's effort helped the Belles secure the outright LSC regular-season championship with a perfect 17-0 conference record, marking the program's first undefeated conference season since 1984. She recorded a double-double against Texas A&M-Kingsville with 19 assists and 12 digs and has tallied double-digit assists in 12 consecutive matches.
Ashcraft and the top-seeded Belles will begin postseason play in the Lone Star Conference Championship Tournament on Thursday, Nov. 12, at the Junell Center-Stephens Arena. Angelo State will face the winner of the first-round matchup between eighth-seeded Western New Mexico and ninth-seeded West Texas A&M.
