Katie Pearson earns "Scottie Athlete of the Week" honors after helping the Highland volleyball team go 4-1 last week with a 4-0 performance at their home tournament.

Pearson became the all-time leader in school history in assists when the Scotties played #1 Coffeyville on the road as she recorded 28 assists to break the school record for a career (records date back to 2001). The Scotties bounced back from the loss to Coffeyville with a 4-0 showing at their home tournament on Friday and Saturday with wins over a pair of ranked teams. She recorded 30+ assists in all four tournament matches with a 48 assist and 16 dig performance in the win over #14 ranked Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. Pearson also helped the Scotties pick up a win in straight sets over ninth ranked Iowa Central. She finished with 150 assists in the tournament and added 32 digs, four kills and four aces.

The sophomore currently leads the KJCCC in total assists with 364 this season and is currently sixth in the NJCAA DII for total assists and eighth in assists per set.
