Bammer picked up a career-best 35 digs in Lawrence’s 3-0 win over Knox, eclipsing her previous high of 32 vs. UW-Superior back in 2014. Bammer collected 29 digs in Lawrence’s 3-0 win over Monmouth. She also added four service aces in the two matches.
Led by Bammer, Lawrence held Knox and Monmouth to a .090 hitting percentage.
