2018 Etched her name in the Highlander history books on multiple occasions in 2018 beginning with the season opener when she notched 30 kills in a win over Montana. She followed up that performance the very next day with a DI record 33 kills to become the first Highlander to put up 30+ kills on back-to-back days. Her outstanding play during opening weekend earned her AVCA Player of the Week, VolleyMob Player of the Week, and Big West Player of the Week. She is the only Highlander to earn national recognition from the AVCA and VolleyMob.

Two weeks later, Ahuna would break her own record collecting 34 kills at the Idaho State Tournament.

On various occasions Ahuna was ranked #1 in the nation in kills p/set ending the 2018 season at 5.33. She was also among the top-10 in total kills and attacks on multiple occasions.
