UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. - Senior Jamie Reed (Saginaw, Mich./Heritage HS) tallied 26 digs, setting a new school record for season digs as SVSU lost 3-1 (28-30, 30-22, 30-20, 30-20) to No. 22 Ferris State University on Friday (November 8).
    Reed's 26 digs bumped her season tally to 536, four digs better than the previous record holder Charlene Carter (1994). Reed also increased her career leading record for digs to 1585.
