Leading Menlo to an undefeated start through the first two home matches of 2026, the junior transfer outside hitter averaged 3.43 kills and 2.43 digs per set in the Oaks’ 2-0 week. First against Cal State Dominguez Hills on Friday, Milkan put down seven kills with no errors while adding nine digs, two blocks, one assist, one ace, and a confident hand serving during Menlo’s six-point comeback at the end of the third set. Then, on Saturday, Milkan broke out in a big way. In addition to season-highs of 17 kills and three service aces plus eight digs, two assists, and one block, she once again steadily served during the Oaks’ spectacular 12-0 run to finish off 3-1 triumph over Cal Poly Humboldt. Fresh off the two victories inside Haynes-Prim Pavilion, Menlo now prepares to rematch the Lumberjacks in Arcata this Thursday.
