Earlier this season, the Dos Palos, California, native became just the third Lady Mulerider in the RSE to register 300 or more career blocks and is the program's RSE career leader in block assists with 271.
• Within the Great American Conference, O'Banion's 310 career total blocks entering the final match of her career are the fifth-most in league history, while her 1,005 kills make her just the eighth player in league history to eclipse the 1,000 career kills milestone.
• Senior Savannah Pillow enters the final match of her career with 743 career assists and six double-doubles. A native of Friendship, Tennessee, Pillow has also logged 31 career matches with double-digit assists and 13 career matches with double-digit digs.

• Sophomore Alexa Bass logged two triple-doubles in the month of the October as she became the first Lady Mulerider with two such performances in the RSE. Only four triple-doubles have been recorded since 2000 in program history and Bass owns two of those, while falling three kills shy of her third such performance in SAU's most recent win over UAM.
