Tori Dilfer-Stringer is in her second season with the Fury, after transferring mid-season from the Atlanta Vibe in 2024. The setter from California has played professionally since 2022, after graduating from the University of Louisville where she was a two time All-American, helping the team reach its first ever NCAA Final Four in 2021. That same year, she was a member of the U.S. Collegiate National Team as well as the Women's Pan-American Cup team, which earned a bronze medal at the games.
Dilfer-Stringer comes from a family of athletes; both her sisters played volleyball in college. Her mother, Cassandra, was a swimmer at Fresno State, and her father, Trent, played 14 seasons in the NFL and won Super Bowl XXXV with the Baltimore Ravens. Stringer married her husband Ethan in 2023. The couple adopted a Bernese Mountain dog named Moose in 2024.
