2025 ROSTER

The 2025 Women's Volleyball roster features 14 returners from a 2024 squad that appeared in the program's first AMCC postseason since the 2013-14 season. The Hawks will turn to a strong senior class to lead the squad both on and off the court this fall.

Offensively, Hilbert will look to replicate last year's output that saw the team ranked top five on many of the program's single season lists. Head Coach Calvin Crosby's 2024 team ranked second in attack attempts (3375), third in points (1122.0), assists (771), kills (854), and fourth in attack% (.097), kills per set (8.80), assists per set (7.95), and points per set (11.57) in Hilbert history.

Jenna Revak, Molly McKinnon, Jessee Jonathan, McKenna Rice, and Michaela Rice all return for their senior seasons with the Hawks looking to enjoy more team success and continue racking up impressive individual accomplishments.

Revak (376), Michaela Rice (338), McKinnon (176), and McKenna Rice (164), have all totaled at least 150 kills in the royal and white while Jonathan sits third all-time with 1,086 career assists. A repeat of last season's kill total would see Revak reach the 500-kill milestone while also moving into the program's top five list, while Jonathan would move into second on the assists lists with just 87 more (has at least 500 in each of her two seasons).

Crosby's squad is also loaded with youth this season as the five seniors and lone junior (Jordan Austin) are joined by eight returning sophomores and four incoming freshmen to round out the roster. The sophomore class (Jazzelle McLean, Jenna Yauger, Mackenzie Mitchell, Riley O'Neill, Cora Norton, Jade Schiller, Madison Hoag, and Meghan Balen) combined to total 162 digs, 140 assists, 49.5 points and 22 kills across 151 sets last fall.
