• Santa Clara finished the non-conference portion of this year's schedule with a 4-8 record, matching the number of wins it had before starting conference play last season.
• The Broncos won their season-opening match on Aug. 26 versus Chattanooga and are now 2-2 all-time in season openers under Lindsey. They are also 5-5 in season-opening tournaments since 2019.
• Sophomore setter Nive Tuileta's surpassed the 1,500 career assists mark on Saturday versus No. 20 Pepperdine with 37 that day, giving her 1,522 for her career. She sits 70 assists back of 10th on the Santa Clara volleyball all-time top-10 list. Lindsy Davigeadono totaled 1,592 career assists with the Broncos from 2006-09.
• Other Broncos on the hunt for the record books include Julia Sangiacomo, who has already climbed to No. 8 on the all-time list with 1,304 kills. She's 23 kills back of the No. 7 spot, where Kim McGiven (2002-06) sits with 1,327 career kills. Kat Georgiadis' career 3.36 digs per set average currently ranks No. 7 all-time, though her 735 career digs are still 397 short of making the all-time top-10 list.

• The Broncos return 12 players from last year's roster, including three-time all-WCC honoree Julia Sangiacomo, who was selected to the 2022 Preseason All-WCC First Team on Aug. 24.
• Head coach Erin Lindsey is in her fourth season with the Broncos in 2022. The Tuesday, Sept. 27 win at Pacific was the 98th of her career as an NCAA head coach, leaving her only two victories away from her 100th career win.
