STEPHANIE SCZECH
Women's Volleyball

The senior middle blocker is off to a great start in her final season on the court, and Chapman is mirroring her success. Through six matches, the Panthers are 4-2 - their best start since 2001 - and Sczech is leading the way with a team-high 76 kills (3.17 per game) and ranks second on the team with a .267 hitting percentage and nine blocks. She earned a career-high with 20 kills versus Whittier on Wednesday night in the Panthers' 3-1 win over the Poets and has reached double-digits in kills four times already this year. In her last three matches, which includes Chapman's upset win over No. 22 Pacific Lutheran last weekend, Stephanie has 51 kills and is hitting .393.
