Licon finished also with a new PCC school record of 675 career digs and she served 67 aces. She led the entire SCC in digs average at 4.80 per set. 

Hoon, who recorded the fourth-highest, PCC single-season total for kills with 318, will be playing/attending D2 Hawaii Pacific, located in Honolulu. The 5-foot-11 outside hitter, a local product of Arcadia High, earned All-SCC First Team honors and received a Jensen Transfer award. Hoon was second in the SCC in total kills. 

Vongfak, who started most of the '24 season at setter, is moving her talents to D3 University of La Verne. Also from Arcadia HS, Vongfak averaged a conference best 6.28 assists per set and led the SCC in total aces with 52. She added 177 digs and had career totals of 680 assists, 330 digs and 80 aces.
