After breaking the Foundation Academy school record for most assists in a single game earlier in the 2024 season, Lions girls volleyball setter Geiliany Del Valle broke the record once again by dishing out 57 assists in a 3-1 win over Dr. Phillips.

Del Valle’s previous single-game best assists total — 55 — came in Foundation’s regular season opener against the Master’s Academy in another four-set match.

Foundation outside hitter Madison Krause was a big factor in Del Valle’s record-breaking night with 28 kills, while sophomore Haley Higgins buried 15 kills of her own.

The Lions now hold a record of 10-3 for the season — as of press time, Sept. 24 — and will play against area rivals The First Academy Sept. 26 at home.
