University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa beach volleyball claimed a Big West top honor, and four Rainbow Wahine pairs earned recognition.
For the second time in three seasons, UH head coach Evan Silberstein was tabbed Co-Coach of the Year. The UH pairs of Jaime Santer/Alana Embry and Riley Wagoner/Sydney Amiatu were named to the all-conference first-team. Meanwhile the duos of Kaylee Glagau/Pani Napoleon and Anna Maidment/Sydney Miller garnered honorable mention.
Silberstein, who last earned Co-Coach of the Year accolades in 2022, shares the honor with Cal Poly’s Todd Rogers. Silberstein helped lead the Rainbow Wahine to their fourth conference title and guided UH to its third straight NCAA Championship appearance under his helm.
