Sophomore middle blocker Faye Barhorst was mentioned in the latest "CSTV/AVCA Facts on File" for Division I, which was released on Oct. 13 by the American Volleyball Coaches Association.

On Saturday, Barhorst recorded a NCAA Division I record for hitting percentage in Dayton's 3-1 win over La Salle. The Fort Loramie, Ohio native hit .800 with 24 kills on 30 attempts with no errors to establish the best ever mark by a player with a minimum of 30 attacks. She played in just the final three of four games against the Explorers and added six blocks in the victory.

Barhorst has been named Atlantic 10 Player of the Week twice this season and leads the conference in hitting percentage (.390), points scored (5.35 ppg) and blocks (1.54 bpg) while ranking third in kills (4.24 kpg). Last year, She was honored as the AVCA Northeast Regional and Atlantic 10 Player of the Year after leading the A-10 with 1.37 blocks per game to go along with 2.48 kills per game and a .321 hitting percentage.

Each week the "CSTV/AVCA Facts on File" can be viewed on the AVCA web page at www.avca.org.

The UD volleyball team is currently 12-6 overall and in a three way tie for first place in the Atlantic 10 Conference with a 4-1 record. The Flyers begin a four-match homestand at the Frericks Center this weekend against conference rivals Duquesne (Fri., 7 pm) and George Washington (Sat., 7pm).
