PORTLAND, Ore. – Mackenzie Carter quickly made a name for herself in her first season at Saint Martin's, leading the team in all offensive categories en route to being named to the GNAC All-Conference Honorable Mention team on Tuesday.
 
COMPLETE RELEASE
 
On the year, Carter ranked fifth in the GNAC in kills per set (3.50), and seventh in points per set (3.83). During the year, Carter ended up missing around 20 sets due to injury, but despite the missed time, still led the team in kills and points. In 78 sets, Carter managed 273 kills and 298.5 points, along with 175 digs, and 15 aces.
 
The highlight of the season came in the Saints' road match against Seattle Pacific when Carter recorded 17 kills, 15 digs, and three aces. It was one of four times during 2019 that Carter had 10 or more kills, and digs in a single match. She recorded a season-high 19 kills against Western Oregon, and had 15 matches with 10 or more kills. Carter caught fire down the stretch, hitting the double-digit mark in kills in each of the final nine matches, where she averaged 4.25 kills per set in the run.
 
Carter marks the fourth All-Conference player to be named from Saint Martin's since head coach Jon Killingbeck took over the program in 2016.
