Two thousand digs. Only four volleyball players to ever play in the Sun Belt Conference can say they have reached that mark, until now.
On Oct. 15, graduate student Emma Reilly recorded her 2,000th dig as a Mountaineer. Reilly is the first ever in program history to achieve the record.
Courtney Rhein, who played for the Mountaineers from 2009-2012, previously held the school record of 1,870, but in the East Carolina Invitational Sept. 18 earlier this year, Reilly surpassed Rhein with 1,873 digs. Reilly did not stop there, becoming the fifth volleyball player ever to reach 2,000 digs in the Sun Belt Conference.
