Steigerwald helped lead the Cardinals to a postseason berth last week as the Cardinals remained unbeaten in Empire 8 play with wins over Houghton and Alfred. The Penfield native averaged 21.5 kills, 11.5 digs, 2.5 service aces and 2.5 blocks on the week. Steigerwald slammed 27 kills and recorded a sparkling .479 hitting percentage to go along with nine digs in a four-set win over previously unbeaten Houghton on Friday. She added 16 kills, 14 digs, four aces and four blocks in a five-set win at Alfred Saturday. Steigerwald continues to rank in the top-five nationally in kills per set (4.61) and points per set (5.38) this season. It is Steigerwald’s fourth E8 weekly honor of 2019.
