Karbo Named to Baylor Invitational All-Tournament Team

WACO, Texas – University of Houston Volleyball senior libero Katie Karbo was named to the Baylor Invitational All-Tournament team on Saturday, being honored as the tournament's Best Defender.

Karbo led the Cougars with a total of 42 digs in Houston's two matches, having averaged 4.67 digs per set. The weekend also found the Azle, Texas, native continue to climb the ranks in Houston's record book, as she moved into third all-time with 1,916 digs after her 18-dig performance against No. 5 Baylor on Thursday.

In Friday's match with RV Tennessee, Karbo, behind a 24-dig outing, helped lead Houston to a season-best 79 digs against the Lady Vols. That performance became the fifth time this year Karbo has posted a 20-dig contest, which also marks her fourth in her past five matches.

The honor is the second all-tournament accolade this season for Karbo. She was named to the All-Tournament team at the UTSA Classic (Sept. 6-7) after guiding the Cougars to an undefeated weekend.
