Bartsch Earns League Honor

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Augusta State's Lisa Bartsch earned Peach Belt Conference Specialist Of The Week honors Monday afternoon, according to a release from the league office.

A freshman setter from Leverkusen, Germany, Bartsch capped a spectacular week for the Jaguars with a career-high, 63-assist effort in a five-set win over Catawba on Saturday, Oct. 2. The 63 assists were the most in any match in the PBC this year and came on the heels of a 43-assist, 23-dig performance against Montevallo.

Bartsch became the only player to have more than 40 assists and 20 digs in the same match this year. She also had 40 assists and 14 digs against USC Aiken and averaged 10.42 assists with 3.42 digs per set on the week. With her efforts, she is now ranked fifth in the PBC in assists and service aces.

The Jags wrap up a six-match homestand on Wednesday, Oct. 6 when they host Francis Marion in a league contest at 7:00 p.m., in Christenberry Fieldhouse.
