UH’s Brooke Van Sickle, Kaylee Glagau named beach volleyball All-Americans

The Hawaii beach volleyball pair of Brooke Van Sickle and Kaylee Glagau were named first-team All-Americans on Thursday, as announced by the American Volleyball Coaches Association.

Glagau and Van Sickle become the 11th and 12th All-Americans in program history. Van Sickle is just the second Rainbow Wahine to earn All-America honors in both indoor and beach within the same school year. Emily Maglio accomplished the feat in 2017-18.

The duo owns a team-best 27-8 overall record this season, and was named the Big West Pair of the Week a record four times this season. They also were named AVCA/CBVB Pair of the Week in March, just the third UH pair ever to earn the national recognition.

In the second game, HPU took a 2-0 lead in the second inning, as Mackenzee Higuchi blasted a two-run home run. But in the bottom of seventh of the seven-inning contest, Biola’s Wyatt Duncan connected on a two-out, three-run home run to give the Eagles the win.
