A six-foot outsider hitter, Hadaller will join the Vulcans from Kelso, Washington where she was a duo-athlete in track & field and volleyball at Kelso High School while playing club for the Aces and Excel NW.

"I had never felt so invited into a place that I had never experienced before. The way that this program develops relationships with their athletes is something that you don't see everyday, and I'm grateful and excited for this opportunity to play the sport I love."

I also chose Hawai‘i because 'who wouldn't want to spend four years doing what they love and getting their education on a beautiful island?!'" 

Reinke intends to major in special education.
