William & Mary Athletics

Debbie Hill was one of the "founding mothers" of the modern women's athletic program at W&M, coaching the Tribe volleyball team for 30 years. She was elected to the W&M Athletics Hall of Fame in 2014.

Hill was a five-time CAA Coach of the Year, and led W&M to a 587-413 record in that span. Her accomplishments included seven-straight CAA Championships from 1985-91, and a 56-match conference-winning streak during that span.  

She also added an eighth CAA title in 2001, and played in the NCAA Tournament for the first time that season.  Hill's teams eclipsed 20 wins 12 times, and made the NIVC (NIT tournament for volleyball) in 1989, 1990, and 1991.

Her players' individual accomplishments include five all-region selections and 71 All-CAA honors.  Four players were named CAA Player of the Year seven times, and other honors included three CAA Rookies of the Year and four Defensive Players of the Year.
