Last weekend, Brown moved into ninth place on the program's all-time kills list with 1,204 thus far in her career. She also ranks ninth all-time with 1,190 career digs, making her one of just a handful of Davidson players to record 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs in a career. Brown is currently eight all-time with 121 service aces. Sewell, who led the NCAA in hitting as a sophomore, is on pace to graduate as the school's all-time leader in attacking percentage at .359. She is also the SoCon record holder in career hitting percentage, as well as the league's single season attacking percentage record holder at .430, set in 2011.

DEROCHIE DOES IT AGAIN

The Ramona, Calif., native averaged 12.14 assists per set on the weekend, tying her career high with 53 assists vs. Chattanooga.Â
