Hernando senior volleyball players Brittany Hill and Malea Kalina have signed with South Florida Community College according to Leopards head coach Patty Martin.
Hill, an outside/middle hitter, led Hernando with 2.3 kills a game and 56 total blocks. She also had 34 aces on the season.
Kalina, a middle hitter, was second on the Leopards in blocks (49), aces (62) and kills per game (1.9).
