Bardole led the Beavers to an 18-16 record, a tie for third place in the Iowa Conference with a 4-3 mark and a spot in the IIAC Tournament semifinals. She accumulated 459 kills, an average of 3.48 per set, and 408 digs -- figures that both rank second on the team in overall matches. Already the school's single-season record holder for kills with her 614 last season, this year's entry ranks fifth all-time at Buena Vista.

With one season to play, Bardole already holds Buena Vista's career kills mark with 1,489, surpassing the previous mark of 1,312 which had stood since 2006. She posted a season-high 26 kills against Dubuque on October 21 - a mark that is tied for the fifth-most in a single-match in Buena Vista history and the second-most by an Iowa Conference player in a league match this season.

In Iowa Conference play, she ranked second in total kills (113) and kills per set (4.19) while ranking sixth in hitting percentage (.317). On September 22, Bardole set a BVU single-match record with a .750 attack percentage when she had 16 kills and only one error in 20 attempts in a 3-0 sweep of Coe.

She ranks third among IIAC players with 20 double-doubles and reached double-digits in kills in 28 of 34 matches this season.
