It may sound like a bit of typical sports hyperbole, but Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard swears the following statistic is true. In two seasons, Bechard says, KU setter Ainise Havili has never lost a joust at the net. The joust is the volleyball play where the ball is suspended above the net and attackers from both sides converge. And this would be an amazing stat for a few reasons.
Havili, a sophomore, is listed at 5-foot-10 and is one of the best setters in the country. Her teammates call her the quarterback of the offense and a team leader.
