Hokie ClubBLACKSBURG, Va. – Sophomore Justine Record earned ACC Athlete of the Week honors for her performance in the Hokies’ sweep of Georgia Tech on Friday and the comeback victory over Clemson on Saturday, the conference announced on Monday.
On the weekend, Record tallied 39 kills on a .305 hitting percentage, 23 digs and used her blistering serve to earn eight service errors, four in each match. The Redwood City, Calif., native led the Hokies with 13 kills, while adding eight digs and a block in the 3-0 win over the Yellow Jackets, who came into the match tied for first place in the ACC.
The following night against Clemson, Record registered a career-high 26 kills and 15 digs for her fourth double-double of the season. At one point in the crucial third set against the Tigers, Record earned four kills in five points to rally the Hokies from a seven-point deficit and capture the set, and eventually the match. Her 26 kills is the most by a single Hokie in a match since Anne Spicer landed 26 kills against Virginia on Nov. 18, 2004.
The Hokies will hit the road next weekend for bouts against Boston College and Maryland. Tech faces the Eagles on Friday, and squares off against the Terrapins on Sunday.
