Farrell Breaks Own Record

In a season of records being broken, Celina Farrell (Corinth, TX/Lake Dallas H.S.) trumped that by breaking her own mark that was established earlier this season. The 5’11” middle blocker recorded a UD record 11 block assists in Saturday’s last game of the Austin College Classic in Sherman, TX against the Tornados of Concordia University (TX). In four tournament matches (14 games) she recorded 20 block assists and one solo block to go along with 13 kills and four service aces.

For the season, Farrell has recorded 89 block assists and nine solo blocks, and is currently the UD record holder in career block assists with 236. Fellow junior Kelli Fuentes (Rowlett, TX/Rowlett H.S.) also joins Farrell as an individual record breaker. The libero has 1,790 digs so far in her three year career at UD.

UD has four regular season matches remaining in the 2009 season before travelling northeast for the NEAC Championships on November 6 and 7. The four regular season games include Wednesday’s away match against Wiley College, and three home matches at this weekends’ University of Dallas Invitational on Friday, October 30th and Saturday, October 31st. Friday’s one match against Rust College begins at 7:00pm, and Saturday’s two matches against Howard Payne University and Arlington Baptist College begin at 1:30pm and 3:30pm, respectively.
