In Friday’s four set win at LBSU, she delivered a blistering performance with 16 kills on a .429 clip while roofing nine blocks, repeatedly snuffing out Beach swings on the defensive end. She followed that outing with another commanding effort inside Pauley Pavilion, striking for nine kills, adding eight more blocks, and finishing with 13 points as she controlled the net from start to finish. Across the two matches, Singletary combined for 25 kills on .385 hitting with 17 total blocks.
