SEASIDE, Calif. — The Cal State Monterey Bay volleyball team is in the final fortnight of its 2015 season, and so too is the fate of the Otter volleyball record book. Several chapters are set to be rewritten over the team's final four matches. Otter fans don't have to dig very deep to find the record most likely to fall.

Senior libero Rachel Cookus (Thousand Oaks HS) already owns the school record for career digs (1,866 and counting) by nearly 500 digs. And, although she possesses three of the top seven and two of the top four individual seasons in Otter history, she's still on the outside looking in on the CSUMB gold standard of 518 set by Katie Bos in 2006.

But she won't be on the outside for long. Cookus enters Friday night's match at Cal State East Bay with 479 digs. She needs to average just 10 digs per match the rest of the way to grab the brass ring from Bos.

For a player who averages nearly 23 digs per match on the season, that should be child's play.
