Defending Big West beach volleyball champion Hawaii, which gets a sneak peak at spring 2019 with matches this weekend at Queen’s Beach, also got a look at fall 2019 with the signing of three high school seniors on Wednesday.

Two had their paperwork cleared through UH compliance: Maia Hannemann, daughter of former Warrior setter Albert, and Canadian Anna Maidment, part of Volleyball Manitoba’s 2018 team of the year with partner Erika Vermette.

The paperwork for a third, Sabrina Hardisty of Scripps Ranch, Calif., was received late Wednesday and expected to be cleared today.

Also expected to join Hawaii as walk-ons are Ili‘hia Huddleston, sister of current SandBow senior Hi‘ilawe from California, and Hilo High’s Laurie McGrath.
