Hawai'i Hilo Vulcans Athletics

Junior outside hitter Bria Beale closed out one of the best seasons in Vulcan volleyball history, helping to lead her team to the NCAA Regional Tournament for the first time since 2011. Beale had 15 kills and seven digs in a three-set loss to No. 4 nationally ranked Western Washington (26-24, 25-15, 25-23), and earlier in the week she was named to the D2CCA All-West Region First Team. Only seven players from the three conferences in the west region are named to the squad, and Beale was the first Vulcan to be so honored since Hillary Hurley gained the same award in 2011. Beale led the PacWest in kills (439), kills per set (3.69), points (499) and points per set (4.19).
