Dani Shepherd alone atop Division I

 

Junior Dani Shepherd currently leads the Division I standings in digs per set. After an impressive weekend against Princeton and Towson, she is now boasting 6.61 digs/sets, which will extend her already comfortable lead.

Shepherd was picked for the first-team All-Ivy last season and finished last season third in the nation in digs per set.

She is the only Ivy player in the top 50 in this category, and she is just one aspect of the impressive defense the Quakers have mustered up so far this season. Despite losing their first Ivy League match of the season, Penn had a strong defensive showing, posting 10 blocks and 118 digs in the five-set match.
