MORAGA, Calif. — There is quite the buzz around the Saint Mary's Volleyball program heading into the 2025 season, and with good reason. The aggregate of new Head Coach Tyler Hildebrand coming over from USC, 12 returning players from last year's roster, including All-WCC honorees Genevieve Bane and Clarissa Klein, and an incoming class of 10, headlined by Power-Four transfers Vivian Parker, Anaya Thrower and Alayna Pearson, have made the Summer months feel a bit longer in anticipation for volleyball to return to UCU Pavilion. Well, the wait is almost over, as student-athletes reported back to campus on Monday and began their practice slate leading up to their exhibition on August 16 and their season opener on August 29.
