Iliff paced Mizzou with 35 kills on a .443 hitting percentage in the tournament, registering double-digit kills in each of Mizzou's final two games. She also added on 19 digs, seven aces and three blocks over three matches.

In 2024, Crownover is averaging about seven assists per set, while ranking sixth in the SEC with 0.47 aces per set.
