malia-and-claire

A pair of Hillcrest Academy volleyball players had a big year on the court and find themselves listed among the best in school history.

Raven junior outside hitter and defensive specialist Malia Yoder had a season in the top 10 in Hillcrest history in a pair of categories. Her 4.4 digs per set this fall is the third highest total for the program in a single season, trailing only Meridyth Bates in 2009 and Suzanna Yoder in 2018. Her .309 kill efficiency rating is 10th in Raven history for a campaign. The all-time record belongs to Deb Yoder in 1982.

Raven sophomore setter and outside hitter Claire Withrow finished with the eighth best season in program history, averaging 6.9 assists per set. The school record mark belongs to Kristi Miller from 1999.

Hillcrest finished the season with a 10-14 overall record.
