The Bison made the NCAA Division III Tournament for the first time when Parker was a sophomore. She was again an All-PAC First Team pick again as a junior with a conference-leading 757 digs and 59 service aces.

She completed her senior season with 641 digs and 34 service aces when she helped the Bison upset top-seeded Westminster in straight sets for the PAC title, which clinched the program’s second NCAA Tournament berth. Parker left Bethany with 2,509 digs and 195 service assists, both totals rank second in Bison history.
