In an Instagram post, DeBeer reflected on the five years she spent with the side and expressed her gratitude for the program. She also mentioned that she was looking to end her collegiate career in a better fashion but is extremely happy with how it concluded. She wrote:

"I think it’s safe to say that this post is long overdue, but it’s taken me quite some time to process these last few weeks & put into words how much this program means to me. Although this season didn’t end the way I had hoped and dreamed for, with all the stars aligning for a perfect end to my career, I have nothing but pure gratitude for all this program has done for me these last 5 years."

In the 2024 season, Anna DeBeer played impressively for the Louisville Cardinals. She played 121 sets in the season and scored 408 kills and inflicted 292 digs but missed out on the opportunity to play in the NCAA Championships final match due to an injury.
