For the season, she collected 1,204 assists, the highest single season total in school history. She now has the first, third, and fourth highest single season totals at Lake Forest. Included in her 1999 season assists total were 121 assists in three matches at the MWC Tournament and 104 assists in two matches at the NCAA Tournament. Frantz, who became the school's all-time leader for career assists early this season, now has 3,167 assists for her career. She also holds school records for assists in a four-game match (65) and five-game match (74). She broke the four-match record this season versus Grinnell. Also this season, she moved into second place for career aces with 164, just 4 behind current leader Anna Panighetti (1994-97). Frantz had a team-high 66 aces this season, the highest single season total in school history. In the single season aces category, Frantz holds the first, fifth, and eighth slots. Her 239 digs this season boosted her career total to 591, sixth in the school record books.       Lagerman shook off a sluggish start to her season by working her way into the starting lineup and eventually appearing in 78 games. She pounded 140 kills and had a .305 hitting percentage.
