Through the first five weeks of the 2022 campaign four Vikings rank in the top-five among Horizon League players in various statistical categories, including the duo of Lydia Latimer (3rd – 1.16) and Madison Olinger (5th – 1.10) who both rank among the best #HLVB blockers.

Karly Klaer is the final Viking to rank in the top-five among league players, as she enters the week ranked fourth averaging 7.27 assists per set. After moving into the starting lineup during the second week of the season due to injuries, Klaer has combined for 320 total assists, with a season-high 41 helpers coming at YSU last week. 

In last Friday's match against Wright State senior Audrey McConihe tallied the 1,000th dig of her Cleveland State career, and enters the week with 1,014 total digs. McConihe, who is averaging 4.02 digs per set this season, has recorded 20+ digs on five occasions, including a career-high 37-dig performance against Xavier in the season opener.
