HEATHER HAFNER, Class of 1980 (volleyball, basketball) — She powered the Cardinals to three consecutive CIF volleyball championships (1977, 1978, 1979) and also played on Bishop’s CIF champion basketball team of 1977. She was named CIF-SS Volleyball Player of the Year in 1978 and was twice voted TVL MVP. Hafner continued on to become a three-time All-American at Cal State Northridge, leading the Matadors to a NCAA Division 2 championship in 1983 and to three runner-up finishes. She was an NCAA All-Tournament pick in both 1983 and 1985. Her career hitting percentage of .340 still ranks fourth in the CSUN record books. She’s also in the single-season top 10 for both hitting percentage and solo blocks. Hafner played professional beach volleyball for 12 years and was ranked in the top 25 of the Women’s Professional Volleyball Association six times during a seven-year span (1987-1993). She also played on the AVP Tour, making the semifinals in two of its tournaments. She even returned to the indoor game, playing for the Dallas Belles of Major League Volleyball, as well as internationally for Niort, France.
