Mary Miller-Tribbett was part of Pacific's back-to-back national championship teams in 1985 and 1986. She helped guide the Tigers to a 137-18 record during her four-year career as a middle blocker from 1984-87.
Miller-Tribbett enjoyed perhaps her finest seasons on the court in 1986 and 1987. As a junior in 1986, she was named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association All-America Second Team and was a Volleyball Monthly All-American. She also earned All-Pacific Coast Athletic Association Second Team honors in both 1986 and 1987, while earning Volleyball Monthly All-America honors again as a senior in 1987. During the 1986 campaign, Mary set the Pacific record for total blocks in a single season with 221, a mark that stands to this day.
Miller-Tribbett is one of only two players in program history to twice record 15 total blocks in a single match, joining two-time Olympian Elaina Oden.
Currently, Mary ranks in four top-10 categories in the Pacific career record book. She is fourth with 116 solo blocks, fifth with an average of 1.25 blocks per game, and seventh in both block assists (380) and total blocks (496).
After her outstanding career at Pacific, Miller-Tribbett continued to showcase her talent on the volleyball court. In 1989, she was a graduate assistant volleyball coach for Pacific, while also playing Major League Volleyball for the San Jose Golddiggers. From 1991 to 1992, she played for the National Volleyball Association for the San Jose Storm, and from 1993 to 1994, she was a member of the NVA's Sacramento Stars. Miller-Tribbett returned to Pacific in 1996 and 1997 and helped coach the squad as a volunteer assistant coach.
