Emma Letkeman – Queens Volleyball

In only seven sets played, Letkeman impressively totaled 58 assists, 10 digs, seven kills, six aces, one stuff block and one block assist. She contributed 31 assists, five kills, five digs and three aces in Friday’s four set win (25-18, 23-25, 25-23 and 25-10) at the Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre.

Then on Saturday, the Kinesiology General student accumulated 27 assists, five digs, three aces, two kills, one stuff block and one block assist in a three set sweep (25-16, 25-14 and 25-18) on the road. Letkeman was named the Queens Player-of-the-Game for her outstanding effort and contributions.

The first-year has adjusted very well to competing in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) and has played a significant role in the Queens’ ten consecutive match victories.
