Cranbrook’s Mia Molnar has begun her NCAA volleyball career with the Sacramento State Hornets.

The Mount Baker Secondary graduate is a freshman with Sacramento State’s women’s volleyball team, competing in her first collegiate matches as the Hornets opened the 2026 season.

Molnar spoke with 107.5 2day FM on Sunday night about her start with the Hornets and the path that took her from Cranbrook to NCAA Division I volleyball in California.

The outside hitter has already made an impact for Sacramento State, recording eight kills against South Dakota State and seven against Villanova during the Hornets’ opening tournament in Malibu.

Sacramento State is in its first season as a member of the Big West Conference. The Hornets open conference play at home against California Baptist on Sept. 24 before hosting UC Riverside on Sept. 26.
