Two sophomore transfers have signed to play for Hawai’i in 2023.
Jacyn Bamis is a 6-foot-1 middle who played at Clemson and and Mandi Morioka is a 5-7 libero/defensive specialist transferring after a season at Penn State.
At Clemson, Bamis started 15 matches while making 17 appearances. She finished her redshirt-freshman season with 81 kills and 42.0 blocks. She was in on a career-high 11 blocks against South Carolina (9/6/22) while putting down a career-high 10 kills and a .615 hitting percentage against Murray State (9/17/22).
“Jacyn is an athletic and agile middle blocker with a high ceiling,” Wahine coach Robyh Ah Mow said.” She jumps very well and will add depth and stability at that position.”
Morioka appeared in six matches with a pair of starts for the Nittany Lions in 2022.
“Mandi is a hard worker who loves to compete,” says Ah Mow. “She is smooth and quick with a strong work ethic that which are important factors when it comes to backrow players.
“We are excited to get right to work this Spring with these two and cannot wait to see the strides they will make as players. It will be a fun and competitive gym as they work alongside our returnees.”

2022 team had only 1 senior. Looks like adding 4 players so far ??? People leaving we are not aware of ?
Byrd graduated. Akana transferred (UH didn’t have her graduate program), not officially announced but Kiraly likely has retired due to injury. I don’t get too caught up in scholarship numbers. Don’t know who are considered walk-ons or who might be on academic scholarship.
Ok thanks.
Much mahalos for all you do for us, Cindy! You’re the best!
Anything in the air about a spring match with the Wahine?
You’re welcome. Not sure what they’re doing for spring yet.
