Fresno State etched its name in the record books Tuesday night in their 3-0 volleyball victory over California State University, Bakersfield.
The 862 in attendance at the Save Mart Center witnessed the team set a program record for most blocks in a three set match with 21, which shattered the previous record of 15, set in 2007 against Hawaii. To put the feat in perspective, the Bulldogs accumulated 22 blocks over their previous two games before Tuesday.
Head volleyball coach Lauren Netherby-Sewell said the performance could be attributed to their dedication to blocking during practice.
“We’ve been working on blocking a lot, just getting their eye patterns to be a little bit sharper,” Netherby-Sewell said.
