Clayton Named Big South Freshman of the Week Leah Clayton was named Big South Freshman of the Week on Monday. She joins teammates Casey Goodwin (Sept. 12) and Anna Gragg (Sept. 19) as Freshman of the Week recipients this year. It’s the first time in program history that three Lady Flames have been named Big South Freshman of the week in the same season. Clayton scored a career-high 22 kills and added 17 digs on Saturday against Win-throp. Her 22 kills were the most by a Liberty true freshman since Jennifer Belk’s 28 kills against Coastal Carolina, Nov. 15, 2001. She has posted four double-doubles in her last five matches, and ranks second in the Big South with 3.86 kills per set in conference contests.

On a Tear Liberty trailed UNC Asheville, 2-0, on Sept. 30, before rallying to win the next three sets in a row. Beginning with that result, Liberty is on a four-match winning streak. During the winning streak, Liberty has posted two 3-2 victories and a pair of 3-0 sweeps. The Lady Flames are outhitting opponents, .266-.130, during the last four match-es. Also, Liberty’s outside hitters Leah Clayton (3.88 kills per set) and Gabrielle Vess (2.91 kills per set, .326) have been leading the way offensively.

20-20 Vision On Saturday, Leah Clayton became the second Liberty freshman this season with a 20-kill match, scoring 22 kills. Casey Goodwin sent down 20 kills on Sept. 9 against USC Upstate. The last time that two Lady Flames posted at least one 20-kill match as freshmen during the same season was 1996, when Anthonia Akpama and Kyrie Dorn did so.

Blocking the Way Liberty posted 15 blocks in a 3-2 victory over Winthrop on Saturday. It was Liberty’s third 15-block match of the season. This is the first time since 2012 that the team has posted three 15-block matches in the same year. For the season, Liberty leads the Big South and ranks 34th nationally with 2.58 blocks per set, while the team’s .151 opponents’ hitting percentage is ranked 13th in the nation. Junior Sirena Vorster (1.13 blocks per set) ranks second in the Big South in blocks, while freshman Anna Gragg (1.10 bps) is third. On Sept 27 at Radford, Kainah Williams led the way with a career-high eight blocks, while fellow freshmen Gragg, Casey Goodwin and Hannah Morris all posted six blocks. It was the first time that four Lady Flames have registered six or more blocks in the same match in rally-scoring history.

Digging In Sophomore Margaret Latchford tied a season high with 19 digs on Monday against Campbell, giving her 716 career digs. She is the ninth Liberty player all-time to reach 700 career digs as a sophomore. Only four Lady Flames all-time have surpassed 800 digs during their sophomore year. Program record holder Kelly Haseman (2008-11) also holds the record for most digs in her first two seasons at Liberty, with 867.

Double-Double the Fun Anna Willey has recorded double-doubles in each of her last three matches, giving her six double-doubles for the season and 20 for her career. Willey is the 11th Lady Flame in rally-scoring history with 20 or more double-doubles. Only eight Liberty players since 2001 have recorded more than 20 career double-doubles, led by Jennifer Belk’s 74. With Sydney Morris (12 kills, 11 digs) recording her first career double-double on Sept. 10 against Furman, five Lady Flames have registered at least one double-double so far this season. The last time five Lady Flames recorded a double-double in the same season was 2009. During the rally-scoring era, the most different Liberty players to post a double-double in a season is six, in both 2001 and 2008.

Fire Away Freshman Leah Clayton scored 19 kills Sept. 27 at Radford, while classmates Anna Gragg and Payton Carter sent down 10 kills apiece. It marked the first time in rally-scoring history (since 2001) that three Liberty freshmen recorded 10 kills in the same match.

Back-to-Back Freshman of the Week Honorees Liberty players were named Big South Freshman of the Week back-to-back weeks, as Anna Gragg was honored, Sept. 19 after Casey Goodwin on Sept. 12. The last time Liberty received Big South Freshman of the Week in consecutive weeks was Sept. 8 and 15, 2014, when Hannah Weidner was honored twice. Gragg ranks fourth in the Big South in hitting percentage (.298) and third in blocks per set (1.10). Goodwin is ranked ninth in both aces per set (0.33) and points per set (3.03).

Breaking Through Payton Carter scored a career-high 10 kills on Sept. 27 at Radford, becoming the sev-enth Lady Flame with a 10-kill match this season. More Liberty players have recorded at least one double-figure kills match this year than in either of the last two seasons. Leah Clayton, Casey Goodwin and Gabrielle Vess lead the team with six 10-kill matches each this season. Clayton and Vess have both reached double figures in digs in each of Liberty’s last two matches. Additionally, Hannah Weidner had 25 10-kill matches as a freshman in 2014.

Dishing it Out Anna Willey is ranked 10th all-time in program history with 1,790 career assists, enter-ing 10th place on Sept. 10 at Davidson. She dished out a season-high 46 assists against Winthrop on Saturday. On Sept. 9 against USC Upstate, Hannah Morris dished out a career-high 51 assists. She became the first Liberty freshman since Jade Craycraft (52 assists) at Coastal Caro-lina, Nov. 6, 2010, with 50 assists in a match.

Top of the List Liberty Head Coach Shane Pinder, in his 13th season, holds a 231-172 career record. On Oct. 3, 2014 at Gardner-Webb, he passed Chris Phillips (1992-97, 99-03) for first place on Liberty’s all-time volleyball wins list. With a 3-1 win at UNC Asheville on Oct. 4, he became the fourth volleyball coach in Big South history with 200 or more career wins. Pinder is now second all-time in career wins among Big South volleyball coaches, trailing only longtime UNC Asheville coach Julie Torbett, who won 337 matches.

Career Milestones in ReachAnna Willey - 2,000 career assists (currently at 1,790 - reached 1,500 at Davidson, 9/10/16)Margaret Latchford - 800 career digs (currently at 716 - reached 700 vs. Campbell, 10/10/16)Sirena Vorster - 400 career kills (currently at 397)Gabrielle Vess - 400 career kills (currently at 378)

For the (Freshman) Record Margaret Latchford collected a program freshman-record 502 digs last season, the ninth most in a single season in program history, and sixth most in Liberty’s rally-scoring records. She finished the season ranked fifth in the Big South with 4.67 digs per set. As a freshman in 2014, Hannah Weidner tied a program record with 19 straight 10+-kill matches, reaching double figures in kills in 24 out of her first 25 career matches. Wei-dner was the 2014 VaSID University Division Volleyball All-State Rookie of the Year.

First Since 2010 Leah Clayton was named Big South Player of the Week on Oct. 3, becoming the fifth Liberty freshman, and first since Lillie Happel in 2010, to be named Big South Player of the Week. The other three Liberty freshmen to receive Big South Player of the Week (Kyrie Dorn, 1996, Anthonia Akpama, 1996 and Kallie Corbin, 2006) went on to win Big South Player of the Year later in their careers.

No Relation Last year, the Lady Flames had a pair of sisters, in Jade and Sirena Vorster. The Vor-ster sisters finished first and second on the team in blocks during 2015. This season, Liberty has Hannah and Sydney Morris, both from Virginia, but the two are not related. Hannah’s older sister, Rachel, was a backup setter at Liberty in 2015. Freshmen Kainah Williams (Spring Branch, Texas) and Meegan Williams (St. Louis, Mo.) are not related, either.
