ABOUT THE PILOTS
• Megan Burton enters her fifth year as the head coach of the Pilots volleyball program, with assistant coaches Dylan Hamilton, Kyle Homeyer and Remi Pourrat also returning for the 2024 season.
• The Pilots also bring back 12 letter winners from the fall 2023 season.
• The program welcomes five true freshmen to The Bluff this fall in Sydney Cazimero, Amiyah Eason, Maelle Corbach, Tinoa Woodward-Hart, and Alana Villela.
• Portland will be looking to captains Maui Robins and Lia Hawken to lead the team to new heights in the 2024 season.
• Robins was named to 2023 All-WCC Second Team and earned a spot on the 2024 All-WCC Preseason team, spearheaded by her oustanding performances last year. Robins led the conference in services aces (39), second in kills (363) and points (422.5).
• Hawken plays a crucial front-line role, ranking among the top for the Pilots in kills, points, and blocks.
• Returning players Taina Kaauwai and Elin Larsson will remain key contributors to the Pilots' lineup. Both earned 2023 All-WCC honors, with Kaauwai securing a spot on the Freshman Team and Larsson receiving honorable mention.
• The Pilots led the WCC in the 2023 season in service aces (197).
