It must be working. Washington has the highest aces per set average of any Division 1 team in the nation. UW has dialed up 65 aces in 31 sets, a 2.1 ace/set average. No other Pac-12 team ranks in the top fifty nationally.
The Huskies can also hit and block. The team is hitting
.308, good for fourth nationally (trailing only Michigan State, Hawai’i and
Cal.) Washington also averages 2.95 blocks per set, the ninth-best number in
the country.
The NCAA doesn’t report rankings for opponents’ hitting
percentage, but the Pac-12 website lists Washington second only to Cal. The
Huskies hold opponents to a meager .123.
