The recent showdown of the Washington State University Volleyball Team has been making waves on social media. It was a face-off between Team WSU and Team Arizona State University. The Sun Devil Volleyball team fell shot to win in the five-set enthralling showdown. On the other hand, team Washington State University featured a virtuoso who made it to etch her name in the records of NCAA Volleyball tournaments.

The exceptionally talented team player of WSU not only helped the team to emerge victorious in the recent showdown but also earned the name for being the ‘NCAA blocking queen’ on the way.

Washington State University’s virtuoso

 Magda Jehlárová, also known as the middle blocker for team Washington State University, has recently made it to the spotlight. In a recent tweet shared by Washington State Volleyball, it was captioned as, “HER Congratulations Jehlarova Magda for becoming the NCAA volleyball Career Blocks Leader today vs ASU.”

On Wednesday afternoon, team WSU’s middle blocker recorded a career-high 752 blocks at the NCAA Tournament. Therefore, she also clinched the title of NCAA Division 1 Volleyball career blocks leader. This massive accomplishment at NCAA Tournament is for the first time since 2001. 

Even though Magda records the highest number of career-high blocks, she is missing from the top of the list for the 2023 season. As per the blocks per set NCAA rankings, Ifenna Cos-Okpalla reigns the chart with 1.69 per set. On the other hand, Magda ranks 10th with 1.43 per set. However, she reigns the throne of career block leader. Interestingly, this massive accomplishment is a half triumph as Magda’s team also recorded a win over their opponents in the same match.
