Two Aztecs Named to All-Tourney Team at CBU/UCR Challenge
SAN DIEGO – San Diego State volleyball players Jasmine Davis and Andrea Campos were named to the all-tournament team at the CBU/UCR Challenge after helping the Aztecs to a pair of victories over UC Riverside and California Baptist, Sept. 13-14, in Riverside, California.
A graduate transfer from Connecticut, Davis returned to the starting lineup this past weekend, combining for 22.5 points (3.21/set), 15 kills (2.14/set), 23 digs (3.29/set) and seven service aces in seven sets across two matches. The SDSU outside hitter posted a .300 efficiency for the tournament, committing just three errors in 40 attempts.
Against UCR, Davis just missed a double-double, finishing with nine kills, 16 digs and four aces, with the latter two statistics marking season highs, as the Scarlet and Black prevailed in four sets. Thanks in part to her defensive efforts, SDSU held the Highlanders to their second-lowest hitting percentage of the year with a .133 clip.
In the Aztecs’ sweep of host CBU the following day, Davis hit a season-best .375 on six kills without an error in 16 attempts. Late in the third set of that contest, the Redondo Beach native knocked down a key kill, giving SDSU a 23-20 lead and thwarting a Lancer rally in the process.
In four appearances this season, Davis has collected 34 kills (2.27/set) and 46 digs (3.06/set), the latter of which ranks third on the squad. In addition, she has maintained a .269 hitting percentage and has served up eight aces, which is tied for second on the team.
Meanwhile, Campos earned her first two starts at setter in a Scarlet and Black uniform, combining for 41 assists (5.86/set), eight digs and two aces. Against UCR, the Villanova graduate transfer recorded her second-highest assist total in a four-set match this year with 25 helpers before dishing out 16 dimes vs. CBU the following day.
Thanks in part to Campos’ assistance, the Aztecs logged their second-best team hitting percentage for the season with a .352 pace against the Lancers, as four players hit .300 or higher for the match, including Shea Rubright (.700), Kat Cooper (.500), the aforementioned Davis (.375) and Natalie Hughes (.357).
For the season, Campos is slotted ninth in the Mountain West with an average of 5.55 assists per set, with her 172 aggregate total leading the team. She also has 44 digs (1.42/set) to her credit and six service aces.
Along with Davis and Campos, the Aztecs return to the court this weekend when they travel to the Evergreen State for the Gonzaga Tournament, Sept. 20-21, in Spokane, Washington. SDSU will square off against the host Zags on Friday at 5 p.m. PT, before battling Eastern Washington on Saturday at noon.
