A four-sport letterman from Gate City (Va.) High School, Doneva Bays came to Milligan College in 1993 and by the time she left, her exploits had led her to the Milligan College Hall of Fame.

Inducted this year, Bays – an NAIA All-American – led the Lady Buffaloes to a National Championship appearance in 1996 in volleyball.
“That is a time and moment that I will never forget,” said Bays. “My senior year we went not only in volleyball, but basketball also. We were the first Milligan women’s teams to go, and I got to do it in two sports, which was incredible.

“In December we went to San Diego for the National tournament, as one of only 32 teams in the nation to make it that far. It put Milligan on the map and was just a huge accomplishment.”
