Freshman libero Kiah Lerma continued to shine defensively for Arizona Christian, helping the Firestorm sweep both Embry-Riddle and Hope International. The Montgomery, Texas native led ACU in digs, averaging 4.67 per set, while helping limit opponents to a combined .120 hitting percentage. Lerma’s consistency in serve-receive (.867 reception rate) and court coverage anchored a Firestorm defense that powered the team to a share of first place in the GSAC standings.
