UWO’s Cahoon nears dig record (I think)

Just updating a previous post here. According to only my internet browsing and nothing even close to a confirmation, I think UW Oshkosh libero Christina Cahoon needs 11 digs tomorrow to scoop up the single-season D-III record for the current scoring format. With Cahoon’s 40 digs tonight, she has 902 on the year.

In all of my surfing the World Wide Interwebs, I saw only two other players with more than 900 digs this year. North Central’s Stephanie Ryding had 904 digs, and Susquehanna’s Kelly O’Brien had 912. EDIT: Millikin’s Erin Reed had 910.

It would be a nice item to pile on the 2009 accomplishment heap for Cahoon, who was recently named the UW Oshkosh Regional Most Outstanding Player and the AVCA National Player of the Year. No promises, but I think I’m right about this digs record thing.

Millikin’s Albana Gashi was the previous record holder with 861, set last season, the first year of the current scoring format.
