* Elizabeth Norris also registered a double-double last weekend with 20 assists and a career-high 10 digs.

* UND recorded 93 digs versus Green Bay with five players reaching double figures. The Hawks dug out 90 attacks against Butler, marking the first time since 2018 North Dakota has recorded 90+ digs twice in a season.

* Freshman Maddy Hornyak has been the Fighting Hawks service ace specialist with eight in 33 sets. 

* Ashlyn Olson recorded nine kills and a .421 attack percentage to lead the North Dakota attack versus Montana.

* North Dakota leads The Summit in digs per set with 17.30, 1.33 digs ahead of Kansas City.

* UND's 198 attacks versus Green Bay are the most by a Summit League team in 2021 and the most by the Hawks since its Summit League opener versus Oral Roberts in 2018.
