SPOKANE, Wash. — Santa Clara volleyball's Kirsten Mead, a staple of the Bronco offense over the last four seasons, reached a career milestone and led her team to victory at Gonzaga on Saturday afternoon. The senior setter logged her 4,000th career assist and the Broncos took down the Bulldogs 25-21, 22-25, 25-21, 20-25, 15-12 in Martin Centre.
Mead reached the mark with her 42nd assist of the day in the fourth set on a kill by Hailey Lindberg. She is one of only five Broncos with 4,000 career assists and one of only two Broncos to hit that milestone in the rally-scoring era.
