University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo volleyball player<\/a> Bria Beale<\/strong> was named the Pacific West Conference Volleyball Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The 5-foot-11 outside hitter carried a 4.0 grade point average through the spring semester in her graduate major of psychology and mental health counseling, and she had an undergraduate GPA of 3.90 in communication.<\/p>\n

Beale is just the third Vulcan in school history to be named as a PacWest Scholar Athlete of the Year, joining Olivia Jarvis<\/strong> (2021 cross country) and Daelenn Tokunaga<\/strong> (2022 women\u2019s soccer).<\/p>\n

“Bria is the embodiment of a stellar student-athlete,” said Coach Chris Leonard<\/strong>. “Many excel in academics or athletics, but Bria is one of the few that I have had the privilege to work with that is truly elite in the classroom and on the court. This award is a testament to her hard work and is a well-deserved addition to her illustrious career at Hawai\u02bbi Hilo.”<\/p>\n

Beale leaves the Vulcan program ranked second all-time in kills (1,311), third in digs (1,206) and fifth in aces (112).<\/p>\n

In 2021 Beale was UH<\/abbr> Hilo\u2019s first-ever First Team Academic All-American (CoSIDA<\/abbr>) and was an All-District Academic pick three different times. Lastly, she was a NCAA<\/abbr> Woman of the Year Semifinalist last fall, one of just 10 student-athletes in Division II<\/abbr>. As the PacWest representative, she advanced further in the process than any other student-athlete in UH<\/abbr> Hilo history.<\/p>\n
