- Hickey has recorded 15 or more kills in each of the last nine matches.
- She ranks 16th in all of NCAA Division III in points per set (4.91) and 11th in kills per set (4.43).

Attack vs. Defense
- It will be interesting to see the matchup between the defensive-minded Cougars and the Barons' aggressive hitters
- Logan Hickey ranks first in the PAC in kills per set, and Mary Jean Cadman ranks 10th
