Freshman Madi Bell (Port St. Lucie, Fla.) leads the team with 229 kills and sophomore outside hitter Haley Shimon (Des Moines, Iowa) is right behind Bell with 226 kills. Sophomore setter Delaney Mendez's (Phoenix, Ariz.) 556 assists also leads the River Hawks' roster. Sophomore libero Lindsey Visvardis (Homer Glen, Ill.) has the team lead with 403 digs.
