Volire Tisdale Brown was a member of the volleyball program's lone ACC Championship team and first-ever NCAA tournament appearance in 1987. She was named ACC Tournament MVP, All-ACC First Team and AVCA All-Region at the conclusion of her fourth season in the Red and White. Throughout that 1987 season, she tallied 477 kills and 466 digs, becoming the first player in program history to record over 450 kills and digs in the same season.

One year after helping the Pack to that ACC Tournament title, she was named conference Player of the Year in 1988. During her fifth season with the Wolfpack, she set the program record for most kills in a season with 585, a record that remains untouched today. Throughout her five seasons with the Pack, she tallied a total of 1,598 kills, 1,452 digs and 461 sets played, all marks that rank in the top 10 in program history.

Upon graduating in 1989, she remained in Raleigh and worked as director of recreational facilities for Raleigh Parks and Recreation.
