Ella Gamble / SR / Gallaudet University / Cullowhee, N.C. / Smoky Mountain
Gallaudet University senior setter Ella Gamble served her way into the NCAA Division III record book last Wednesday evening against Rosemont as she served 25 consecutive points in the first set to become the fourth NCAA Division III women's volleyball player to do so since the 25-point scoring format change took place in 2008. It was Gamble that served out the final five points for Gallaudet the previous Saturday at Keystone College to give her 30 consecutive points, which is a new confirmed NCAA Division III record for consecutive points served. Gamble broke her career-high for service aces in a match (11) with 12 aces in the first set against the Ravens and finished with a new personal record of 13 aces in a match. In addition to the service aces she added 33 assists in the 3-0 win over the Ravens. This past Saturday in a close four-set match at home against Penn State Harrisburg, Gamble passed out 43 assists, made 11 digs, three aces and three blocks in a 3-1 win over the Lions. She completed the tri-match with 40 assists, three aces and a block against Albright in a 3-0 win. In three matches for the week she totaled 116 assists, 19 aces, 15 digs, six kills and four blocks.
This marks the third weekly United East award of the season Gamble and her ninth in her career (10/6/25, 9/8/25, 9/16/24, 11/6/23, 10/30/23, 10/16/23, 10/9/23, 9/18/23)
