She was named to the Oregon Classic All-Tournament team at Eugene, Ore. this past weekend and threw down 22 kills, incurring only five errors. She amassed a .370 hitting percentage and 5.9 points per set.

She also added three service aces to go along with 16 kills in a sweep of Arkansas-Pine Bluff at Eugene and in a home match at Orem against Idaho State, she posted 19 kills and 10 digs.

This weekly honor is the first of Tarawhiti’s career.
