Wayer sets new digs record for Marauders

The Mt. Vernon volleyball team has a new digs queen. During the Marauders’ 3-1 victory against rival New Palestine on Monday night, Julia Wayer led the defensive effort with a team-best 31 digs.

Her ability to stymie the Dragons offense helped Mt. Vernon collect wins in the second, third and decisive fourth sets (25-13, 25-13, 25-21).

Wayer also became the program’s all-time single-season digs leader in the process. She broke the record previously held by Jesse Earl, who now is playing for Auburn. Earl had amassed 459 digs in 2011. Wayer reached the 480 at the conclusion on Monday night.
