Last Week’s Stats: .417 hitting percentage, 3.75 points/set, 3.17 kills/set, 0.67 blocks/set
After opening the season by claiming NEC/Molten Rookie of the Week distinction, Zampieri ran it back as the league’s top first-year player this past week after she helped lead FDU to back-to-back straight-set triumphs at New Haven. The Italian-born right-side hitter turned in a stellar .417 attack percentage after she combined for 19 kills and four miscues in 29 attempts. Zampieri got her week off to a sizzling start on Friday. Delivering 11 kills with just one error, she hit .588 for the Knights, who took down the Chargers in three sets with scores of 25-14, 25-18 and 25-17. Zampieri had another solid outing on Saturday, posting nine kills while adding a team-leading four blocks. With the victories, FDU, which hosts Le Moyne in a mid-week NEC matchup on Wednesday, improved to 3-1 in the league standings.
