Parker, a senior from Andover, N.J., was at her prolific best in a 3-1 week for Randolph-Macon that included a 2-1 showing in a strong field at the Emory Invitational hosted by Emory University. Parker collected 78 kills (6.00/set) over the four matches with 28 digs (2.15/set), eight blocks, and five aces on the way to 87.5 points earned (6.7/set). She played just one set of the Yellow Jackets 3-0 win at Hollins, posting a trio of kills with three aces and a dig. Parker began her All-Tournament Team performance at Emory with 15 kills and seven digs in a 3-0 loss to nationally eighth-ranked Berry College. She accounted four 15 points in the match. She then registered 25 kills in a 3-1 win over Oglethorpe University, the first of two matches on the second day. She picked up 12 digs and posted a half-dozen block assists with an ace on the way to 29.0 points (7.3/set). Parker then posted her fourth 30-plus kill match of the season with 35 winners on a .303 attack percentage in a 3-2 victory over Birmingham-Southern to cap the regular season. The 35 kills are the second-most in NCAA Division III to her previous season-high of 36 strikes at Washington and Lee earlier this month. She added eight digs, two assists, two blocks, and an ace to account for 37.5 points (7.5/set), matching her season-high. For the year, Parker leads the ODAC in kills (495), kills per set (5.32), points (553.5), and points per set (6.0). She is second in total attacks (1,150) and sixth in attack percentage (.276). Her 495 digs are already fourth-most in ODAC history and second-most in the Randolph-Macon record books with at least one match in the ODAC Tournament still to be played. The ODAC record stands at 517 winners by Heather Cook from Roanoke College in 2004, while the R-MC record is owned by Courtney Lowers at 506 kills in 2015.
