The Orangewomen had a rocky start to the season, losing their first three matches at the Weber State Invitational. But the squad bounced back, winning its next eight matches, including an in-season tournament title at the Orange Classic. It was one of two eight-match winning streaks the Orangewomen sustained during the season.
Fiume toppled nine SU records, including the schools career kills record, and earned an All-BIG EAST selection. She had 1,698 kills, surpassing 1997 graduate Jen Murphys mark of 1,605. Fiume had the second-highest single-season total on record with 534, two shy of tying her own record with 536 kills. She posted the highest single-season kills per game average with 4.27.
