There weren’t many bright spots for the Arizona Wildcats volleyball team last season — they staggered to their lowest win total since 1992 and missed the NCAA Tournament.
But outside hitter Paige Whipple was one of the exceptions of an otherwise down year.
The then-freshman entered the program as a highly-ranked recruit and did not disappoint. She started 18 matches and finished second on the team in kills (213) and fifth in digs (213).
Whipple was one of four UA freshmen to finish with 60 or more kills, a new school record.
