LJ b VB: Stats of domination

By Ed Piper

Senior outside hitter Luke Lentin, far and away, leads La Jolla in total kills at the net, with 188, an average of 4.1 per set, while junior Nathaniel Gates holds the team's highest kill percentage at 51.9 percent.

Through the Vikings' first 20 matches, entailing 49 sets of play, lefty hitter Gabe Vargas trails only his fellow 6'7" teammate Gates at a 49.6-percent kill rate. That includes 122 kills in 246 attempts.

Meanwhile, Lentin, with teammates Gates, libero Grant Starsiak, and a third 6'7" giant in the middle, Sam Kaseff, the iron men of the team with 46 sets played, has pounded 188 kills into opponents in 426 attempts.

Gates has an attacking stat line of 83 kills on 160 attempts.

On the back line, setter Berkeley Miesfeld runs away and hides with 363 assists. No other Viking has more than 31.

Likewise, in digs, Starsiak dominates statistically with 154, doubling the nearest Vikings (Miesfeld and Lentin with 75 and 74).

Kaseff, no second fiddle on defense, has recorded 41 blocks, to pace Gates, second with 38, and Vargas, with 32.

From the serve line, Lentin leads the Vikings with 35 aces, while Miesfeld is just back of him at 34.
