Souza Breaks Career Record Over the Weekend

Macomb, IL - It didn't take long for senior Fabiana Souza to break the career record in kills this season. Just seven matches into the season Souza broke the record in the Mastodons morning match against Southern Mississippi at the Western Illinois Pizza Hut Invitational.

Souza put herself into IPFW's record books for a second time by reaching and breaking the career kill record set by Laura Douglas in 2000 with 1,895 kills. Souza knocked down 17 kills in Saturday morning's match to take the record to 1,901.

Souza broke the single season kill record last year in the Mastodons final match of the Independent Tournament by knocking down kill number 621. The previous record had stood for 20 years, set by Connette Saylor in 1984.
