12 new student-athletes join the team for 2025 including freshman setter/right side KK Green and transfers, junior outside hitter Taliah Lee and sophomore setter Tuana Ozarpaci. Holy Cross welcomes 10 freshmen, tied for the most in the nation (St. Mary’s, Pacific, and Wichita St.).
Green enters her first season at Holy Cross in 2025. She was a four-time AVCA Phenom List honoree and also named to the AVCA All-American Watch List while being named an AVCA All-Regional selection. Green finished her career with 919 kills, 1,595 assists, 947 digs, 85 blocks and 145 aces. "KK is a gamer who thrives in competition,” coach Cribbin said. “Able to set and attack at a high level, she brings an intensity and competitive side that will serve HCVB almost as well as her versatility!"
Lee transferred in from Long Beach State as their team was the runner-up in the 2023 Big West championship match. “Taliah brings a wealth of knowledge and experience,” said coach Cribbin. “Her training has been top notch and she has a huge selection of shots to score against just about any block or defense. Her creativity makes her a great option to score in all scenarios."
Ozarpaci comes to The Hill from George Mason. “Tuana brings a flair of international experience to Mount St. James,” Cribbin said. “Her volleyball IQ is impressive and her ability to read opponents defenses and blocks is one of her greatest weapons. She has worked incredibly hard to become an asset for her teammates and is highly impressive with her athleticism and ability to deliver gorgeous sets from most any pass!”
