Then, on Sunday, she led the team to wins over St. Clair County and Kellogg. In those two matches, she totaled 62 assists, 13 digs, four blocks and three kills.

In total, Tylutki produced 107 assists, 37 digs, 13 blocks (five solo), 10 kills and four aces this past week. She has totaled 422 assists, 193 digs, 46 blocks (16 solo), 32 kills and 21 aces this year.
