Academy of Art University Athletics

Freshman outside hitter Stine Raben made a major impact for Academy of Art University volleyball during the Urban Knights' 2-2 week at the Route 92 Showdown. The Schwerin, Germany native led ART U in kills in each of the contests and finished the week averaging team-highs of 3.5 points and 3.0 kills per set.

In Academy of Art's five-set victory over Montana State Billings on Sept. 4, Raben filled up the stat sheet with 16 kills (three in the final set), eight digs, and four block assists. She added 11 putaways against Stanislaus State then achieved her first double-double of 15 kills and 12 digs in another match that went the distance (Cal State Monterey Bay on Sept. 5). She closed out the tournament with six kills and six digs versus Chico State.

Raben surpasses Taylor Suchy for the most kills by an Academy of Art freshman through her first four matches.
