FR grad totals new career high

Much of what the Fort Recovery High School volleyball team was able to do offensively went through setter Kirsten Jutte.
The same is becoming true for the Capital University Crusaders.
Jutte, a 2016 FRHS graduate, set a career-high 41 assists Saturday in a 3-2 loss to Bluffton (25-23, 25-15, 18-25, 22-25, 15-9). It was five more than her previous career high set Sept. 3. Jutte also added sven digs, four kills and two blocks.
Earlier in the day, Jutte totaled 33 assists, five digs, four kills and a block assist in a 3-1 victory over Franciscan, 26-24, 25-17, 21-25, 25-16.
On Friday, the freshman setter tallied 19 assists in back-to-back matches, 3-0 losses to Wooster (25-21, 25-8, 25-22) and University of Pitt.-Bradford (25-18, 24-19, 25-21). Through the two matches she also had 12 digs and four kills.
Jutte has played in all 13 matches for the Crusaders (4-9), racking up 333 assists (25.6 per match) with 86 digs, 19 kills and 21 blocks.
