IPFW also registered 15 blocks. Souza had three solos and two block assists. Sophomore middle hitter Claire Jackson (Fort Wayne, IN) has a solo and five assists, and sophomore outside hitter Amanda Pfister (Auburn, IN) had a solo and four assists. The ‘Dons total of 15 was one short of their season high 16, also against Chicago State on September 29th, at the Gates Center.
