• Less than a week after Hochevar posted her career best (at the time) with a fifth-place finish in Cincinnati in 2007, her younger brother Luke was called up to the major leagues.

2018: Hochevar formed a partnership with Kelly Claes, and they played in six AVP tournaments. The pair advanced to the semifinals each time, with a best of second once.

Hochevar and Day played seven times on the FIVB Tour, with a best of fifth.
2016: Hochevar began the AVP season with Fopma, placing second and third in their two events together. She then played twice with Emily Day, finishing third before winning the Manhattan Beach Open.

2014: Hochevar began the season playing with Lane Carico, placing third in each of their two AVP events together and a best of 17th in four FIVB tournaments. Fendrick finished the remainder of the AVP season with Ali McColloch, getting a best of third once. She finished sixth on the tour in aces, with .76 per game. Hochevar ended the year competing twice on the FIVB Tour with Heather McGuire and once with Emily Day, with a best of ninth.
2013: Hochevar reunited with Fendrick for the first time since 2007, and the duo advanced to six semifinals in seven tournaments, placing second in both the season opener and finale. They were the top-ranked team on the tour in terms of points. Hochevar was third in hitting percentage (.465). On the FIVB Tour, Hochevar opened the season playing once each with Summer Ross and Emily Day. She and Fendrick had a best of fifth three times in their nine FIVB events together, including in the World Championships in Poland.

Domestically Hochevar and Akers had a best of third in their four events, while she also placed third in her only domestic tournament with Branagh.
2011: Hochevar reunited with Fopma to compete internationally, progressing from country quota to qualifier to main draw (Hochevar's first ever) in their first three events. In Myslowice, Hochevar partnered with Kerri Walsh for the first time, and the duo advanced from the qualifier to place seventh. Hochevar teamed with Lisa Rutledge for seven tournaments, with a best of ninth, before concluding the season with a ninth with Nicole Branagh. Domestically Hochevar played three events with Rutledge, winning once, and one tournament with Branagh.
2010: Hochevar formed a partnership with Dianne DeNecochea, and they advanced to the finals in just their second event together in Santa Barbara after upsetting the top two seeds. The duo played all seven AVP events together, finishing as the sixth-ranked team. Hochevar competed in two FIVB country quota matches at the end of the year, playing alongside Jaimi Gregory.
