She recorded 48 digs in the five-set win over Omaha, which broke a program record. Her 48 digs are the most by an NCAA Division I player this season and second in Summit League history. Hahn closed out the weekend with a 20-dig performance in a sweep of Western Illinois. For the week, she totaled 68 digs over eight sets averaging 8.5 digs per set.
Queen of the dig...

Hahn's team record 48 digs are the most by an NCAA Division I player this season and are second most in Summit League history.
