In five matches, Holtan totaled 62 kills, 29 digs and 10 blocks with an attack percentage of .301. In each match, she was the kill-leader and recorded a season-high double-double of 15 kills and 12 digs against Lakeland University in the final match of the Nike/Eastbay Classic at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire over the weekend.
