Shoji signs Washington State transfer
The Hawaii women's volleyball team continues to patch away the hole left by the departure of seven seniors.
Hawaii coach Dave Shoji signed Washington State transfer Victoria Prince yesterday. The versatile 6-foot hitter sat out last season and is eligible to play for Hawaii this fall. Prince will have two years of eligibility left.
"Victoria will add some valuable experience to our young squad next season," Shoji said. "She is very competitive and versatile. She can play on the right side or in the middle for us and she can hit the high ball and the quick set."
Prince was named to the NCAA all-regional team in 2002 as a sophomore. The Cougars advanced to the NCAA regional finals and finished the season ranked seventh in the nation. As a sophomore, Prince topped the Cougars in blocking (1.19 blocks per game) and contributed 1.78 kills per game.
