Wednesday’s Honolulu Star-Advertiser will include a Hawaii Grown section listing all 56 Division I girls volleyball players from Hawaii high schools currently playing on the mainland.
Missouri’s Carly Kan, a four-year starter for the Tigers, is profiled. Kan played for a team that went 35-1 in her freshman season and is currently 9-3 heading into the start of SEC play on Wednesday night hosting South Carolina.
The Pac-12 is well represented with four schools featuring players from Hawaii. Utah’s Adora Anae (Kahuku) is the reigning Pac-12 offensive player of the week and leads the conference with 4.73 kills per set. She set a single-match school record in the rally-scoring era with 31 kills to lead Utah to a five-set road win at BYU last week. The Cougars have two players (Kamehameha’s Alohi Robins-Hardy, Punahou’s Kiani Tuileta) on their roster.
Arizona outside hitter Kalei Mau (Kaiser) currently ranks 10th in the Pac-12 averaging 3.41 kills per set while Arizona setter Penina Snuka (Kahuku) ranks fifth in assists per set (9.54) and Utah freshman Bailey Choy (‘Iolani) is sixth at 9.07 assists per set.
Snuka also leads the Pac-12 averaging 0.54 service aces per set.
Here’s a list of all 64 Division I players from Hawaii including UH.
