Dockery  (Navajo) cranked out her third double-digit kill effort in KU’s last four matches on Saturday in the Jayhawks’ Big 12 Conference opener, a sweep over TCU at home. The sophomore led all players with 14 kills and committed just one error for a solid .406 attack percentage. Her efforts helped KU hit .369 for the match and a blistering .667 in the second set – the second time that the Kansas offense hit .600 or better in a set this season. Her hitting percentage for the week was the third highest among all league players, while her 4.67 kills and 5.17 points ranked as the second most.
