Denene Jacovetta (1983-1986)
Jacovetta was one of the early stars of the Regis volleyball program, helping then Regis College to consecutive NCAA Regional appearances in 1985 and 1986 following the program's transition from NAIA to NCAA Division II in 1984. Jacovetta and her teammate Linda DiPentino became the first American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-Americans in program history in 1986 as Jacovetta earned Second Team honors as a senior.
The outside hitter still holds the school records for total points (2070.5), as well as points (847.5) and kills (704) in a single season during the 1984 campaign. She also ranks second in total kills (1,688) and fourth in career digs (1,641).
