Brooke Van Sickle’s move appears to be paying off.
The redshirt junior from Battle Ground has played a key role in the University of Hawaii volleyball team’s 9-0 start.
The outside hitter/libero had a combined 33 kills and 27 digs as the Warriors swept three matches at the Outrigger Hotels Challenge in Honolulu.
Van Sickle was named to the all-tournament team as Hawaii beat beat West Virginia, Utah Valley and UCLA.
A two-time first-team all-state player at Battle Ground, Van Sickle transferred to Hawaii from Oregon. In Eugene, she appeared in 67 matches, making 30 starts over three seasons. She missed most of her sophomore year with a knee injury.
Van Sickle was born in Hawaii, where her parents met before moving to Clark County.
