Tam sets program kill mark in 3-2 win over Tennessee Tech

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – In another exciting night of action inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse, Rachel Tam reset the University of Evansville program kills mark as the Purple Aces earned a 3-2 win over Tennessee Tech. The win was the fifth in a row for the Aces, who are off to a 6-2 start in 2019.

Just three days after teammate Melanie Feliciano set the program kill record at 36, Tam tallied 39 kills in 75 attempts. Her tally puts her second all-time in Missouri Valley Conference, just one off of the record of 40.
