Share of kills where this player is credited with the set, by hitter. Higher entropy = harder to read. 2 kill(s) excluded (hitter name not on the roster, or credited to herself). Team hit% on this setter's sets isn't shown: PBP credits setters only on kills, not on errors or dug balls.
Kills by setter
47 kills in PBPA school in parentheses: the play-by-play credits this set to a player on the other team, as the feed wrote it. “As written”: a name the feed gives that isn't in either box score.
Setter not recorded: the play-by-play names no setter. Most are unassisted kills (setter dumps, overpasses); a setter is filled in only where the box score's assists prove who it was.
