On Friday evening, in a sweep against Roosevelt, Dulgar contributed 31 assists and seven digs. Her additional statistics for these matches included four kills, two total blocks, and one service ace.

Coach Koth highlighted that Dulgar leads the league in assists per set (10.76) during GLIAC outings and ranks third in total assists (226). Across all matches played, she is third in total assists (487) and fourth in assists per set (9.55).
