Ainise Havili Shatters Kansas' Career Assists Record
Ainise Havili is the new career assists leader at the University of Kansas. With her 4,773rd assist, a high and outside set to sophomore Jada Burse in the second set of the Jayhawks' match versus Texas, the senior from Fort Worth, Texas, surpassed Andi Rozum in the KU record books.

Havili is a three-time All-American and four-year starter for Kansas head coach Ray Bechard. The 5-foot-10 senior played a key role on the 2015 squad that advanced to the program's first NCAA national semifinal appearance, and in 2016 Havili's 1,210 assists helped lead the way to Kansas' inaugural Big 12 conference title.
