Just a day after breaking the 1,000 kills milestone, Quinnipiac volleyball’s senior outside hitter Yagmur Gunes recorded another 1K on her stat sheet — this time in digs.
The Bursa, Turkey native was very close to that number following the team’s game against Rider where she killed that 1,000th point, needing only 15 more to reach that 1,000th dig.
And in Saturday’s win over Saint Peter’s she did.
This makes Gunes the second Bobcat to achieve this in the team’s Division I history.
The first one to do it is Gunes’ former starting line-mate, former outside hitter Aryanah Diaz ‘25 who ended her collegiate career with 1,068 kills and 1,394 digs.
She is only the third player to break the 1K kill mark, after Diaz and the current record holder, former middle blocker Heather Wollyung ‘02.
On the other hand, she becomes now the sixth Bobcat to break the 1K digs mark — the first one since former libero Fa’ave Kimsel Moe ‘24 who sits on No. 2 spot for the most digs at 1,186.
Gunes now records 1,010 digs (and 1,021 kills) with 11 games still left to play in her last regular season, only seven before she takes over the No. 3 spot for team’s most digs from former outside hitter Kelby Carey ‘11 at 1,017.
