Academy of Art University Athletics

Starting with a career day to close out Academy of Art volleyball's Hawaii roadtrip, graduate student outside hitter Amalie Rupertova continued to display her all-around game this past week.

As the Urban Knights went back and forth with UH Hilo on Sept. 19, Rupertova worked toward her highest totals of the season with a .288 hitting percentage, 24 kills (tied for fifth-most in ART U history), 29 digs (tied for fifth-most all-time in Academy of Art's five-set matches), and five service aces in the eventual five-set victory. She then reached double-digit kills for the eighth time this year, sending down 11 kills while collecting nine digs versus Fresno Pacific on Sept. 24.

Thus far in 2022, Rupertova ranks sixth in the Pacific West Conference in both points (3.51) and kills (3.11) per set.
