Freshman outside hitter Julia Sangiacomo turned in a strong debut for Santa Clara volleyball as the Broncos went 4-0 and won the Indiana Invitational. The freshman from Napa, California totaled 54 kills (4.15/set) on .341 hitting to go along with 25 digs, nine aces, two block solos and 66.5 points en route to all-tournament team honors. SCU was one of only two WCC teams to finish opening weekend undefeated.


In her first collegiate match, Sangiacomo notched 12 kills on .391 hitting in a sweep of Florida International, including set-clinching kills in the first and second frames. Later that day, the outside hitter racked up 13 kills on .407 hitting to help the Broncos erase a two-set deficit and defeat UT Martin.
