NATIONAL LEADER
Hines returns for her senior season and is not only chasing ACU records but returns as the NCAA DII blocks leader. Her 190 blocks last season gave her 1.58 blocks per set to lead the nation. The two-time LSC Defensive Player of the year has looked great in camp and we are expecting great numbers again this season.
