In the second Orange victory on Saturday, Markova recorded a season-best 14 kills and had four blocks, to lead Syracuse. She sparked the Orange to a 12-6 lead in the first set with three kills. In the second set, Markova had two of Syracuse's six kills to open the set and take a 7-1 lead and force a BC timeout. In the third set, after the Eagles pulled to within two, 21-19, Markova registered back-to-back kills to make the score 23-19, force a BC timeout, and propel the Orange to the win.
Hogan, who ranks eighth nationally in digs per set (4.86) and is one of two freshmen in the top 10, is the ACC Rookie of the Week.
