Arcidiacono set a new career-high in kills with 19 against Sam Houston State on Saturday as she led the Islanders to their first Southland Conference victory. In addition to the 19 kills, she had a .298 attack percentage, six block assists and six digs as her team rallied from down 2-1 to take a 3-2 win.
