Region Leaders (2/22/21)
With only four matches involving 4 teams, I wondered if I should still do this article, but the rest of the nation is still playing or just starting to play so here we go. (Secretly hoping to just be able to cut/paste a lot from last week.) Now that I’ve gone through it, it appears the American Rivers Conference has done a number on us. Reminder, St. Thomas is still reclassifying so they are not eligible officially and are not actually in the NCAA statistical database. I will note, however, where they would have placed.
My cover photo is of Breeze Bartle (PLU) who leads the nation in Blocks per Set with 1.44. (She’s the one who has her hands the highest on the block.) The only other West Region player that leads the nation in a category is Annika Canaba who is still the only player to have a triple-double this year. (For a photo of Annika or even better, an interview, see the article above this one!
UPDATE: So sorry!!!! Original picture was of another player. I’m really bad at my job.
