Kenzie Dean
Lewis-Clark State volleyball
Dean, a graduate student from Timberlake High, passed current coach Katie Palmer for career digs with 1,593 in the Warriors 12-25, 25-22, 25-20, 25-20 win over Oregon Tech in Lewiston. "It was pretty special," Dean said. "This week I was struggling with the outcome and I was too focused on that, so I had to go back to the proces and focus on that instead. Passing her (Palmer) is really special. She was an amazing defender and is an amazing coach, so having her coach me is really special. We were in the locker rooom and it was an emotional moment when she told me that I passed her."
