Emily Bell Hinton was a tremendous all-around player for Wittenberg women’s volleyball who ranked among the team’s offensive and defensive statistical leaders in each of her four seasons as a starting outside hitter. The Tigers compiled stunning records of 142-17 overall and 45-1 in the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) during Hinton’s career, winning three NCAC regular season titles and three NCAC Tournament titles. Wittenberg advanced to the NCAA Division III Tournament quarterfinals in 2004 and followed that with three straight national semifinal finishes, capped by a 2007 season that started with 38 straight wins and a No. 1 national ranking before an upset loss in the semifinals. Hinton earned three first-team All-NCAC and first-team All-Great Lakes Region awards, and she was selected honorable mention All-America in 2005 and 2006 and third-team All-America in 2007. Hinton, who also earned second-team Academic All-America honors in 2007, is a native of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and she currently resides in her hometown.
