She also broke the school’s single-season total digs and digs per set records each of her last three years, including 749 digs her senior year when she ranked second nationally in NCAA Division III in total digs and fifth nationally with 6.69 digs per set. Galvan also added the school mark for digs in a match with 38, set twice in her senior year, and tied the school record for service aces in a single match.
