Kaup breaks Orange record (09/08/07)

Collegiate Check-up

It's official. The best defensive player in Syracuse volleyball history is a Fort Recovery native.

Joscie Kaup, a 2004 FRHS graduate, blew past the career digs record Sept. 1 as she tallied 19 digs in a four-game loss to Akron.

Kaup's team-best total upped her career count to 1,806 digs to surpass the all-time mark of 1,791 set by Rachel Watson in 1999. She also had an assist and two aces in the match, and added 17 digs, one assist and two aces in a 30-25, 30-23, 30-21 victory over Albany on Labor Day to extend her record mark to 1,823.

The senior, who set the single-season Orange record for digs with 685 a year ago, and will have a chance to put quite a bit of distance between the old record and eventual career total.

In addition to leading the Big East in total digs (167) and digs per game (5.76) - no one else has more than 150 total - Kaup is also the Syracuse record holder for digs in a match (40), digs per game in a season (5.31) and digs per game in a career (4.4).

Before breaking the career record Sept. 3, Kaup got herself in position a day earlier with 29 kills in a win over Wright State and 21 in a loss to Mississippi.
