But the volleyball careers of a few members of that team continue to go strong in college.
Evi Wilson had a season-high 19 kills in Montana State’s 3-1 win over Idaho State on Friday. Her 206 kills are a team-high for the Bobcats (9-8).
Wilson’s twin sister, Esti Wilson, is a key player for Chico State. She had a season-high 13 digs Oct. 12 in a four-set win over Cal State Monterey Bay.
Page Heller had a season-high 21 digs in Colorado State-Pueblo’s five-set win over Northwestern Oklahoma on Tuesday. The defensive specialist is averaging 2.54 digs per set.
