Senior Traci Knuth sets AASU all-time block record
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (August 26) – Senior Traci Knuth set Armstrong Atlantic State's all-time blocking record in the Pirates' 3-1 win over Montana State-Billings on Saturday morning at the AmeriSuites Mountain Lion Invitational in Colorado Springs, Colo. The Pirates ended the Invitational with a 3-2 mark after falling to Southeastern Oklahoma in four games on Saturday evening.
Knuth passed former teammate and current AASU soccer player Candice Modlinski with her first block of game four in AASU's 30-27, 17-30, 30-21, 30-21 win. Modlinski recorded 425 blocks from 2001-04, and with nine blocks against Montana State-Billings, Knuth now has 427 career blocks in her four years as a Pirate.
The Columbus, Neb., native finished one block shy of a triple-double, recording a team-high 18 kills and 12 digs to go with her nine blocks. Leah Schmiedge added 14 kills and Stacy Yates added 27 assists. Against Southeastern Oklahoma, the Pirates won the first game, 30-23, but dropped the next three, 27-30, 19-30 and 26-30. Knuth again led the Pirates with 16 kills on the evening. AASU next travels to California where the Pirates will take on Cal State Monterey Bay on Monday, August 28, at 7:00 p.m.
