Glagau and Van Sickle Become Two-Time All-Americans

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) announced its 2023 Beach Volleyball All-America Team on Thursday with the Rainbow Wahine top pair of Kaylee Glagau and Brooke Van Sickle garnering first-team honors.

It marks the second straight year that Glagau (Jr., Mississauga, Canada) and Van Sickle (Gr., Battle Ground, Wash.) earned the distinction. In the process, the duo join just four other Rainbow Wahine - Katie Spieler, Brittany Tiegs, Nikki Taylor and Emily Maglio -- to earn multiple All-America citations. They are also the first at UH to earn repeat honors as a pair.

They followed a 30-win season in 2022 with another strong campaign this year and their 59 career wins together are the most by any UH pair. Glagau and Van Sickle have gone 29-3 this season while playing all but three of their matches at the top of the order. They have beaten pairs from top-5 teams UCLA, Florida State and LSU and have secured the clinching point in eight of UH's 3-2 wins this year. At one point this year, the pair won 16 straight matches. Earlier this week the tandem was named the Big West Pair of the Year, becoming the league's first repeat winner of the award.

The BeachBows are currently in Gulf Shores, Ala, preparing for 2023 NCAA Championships. The 11th seed BeachBows will take on No. 6 seed Loyola Marymount in a Round of 16 match on Friday, May 5 at 4:00 p.m. CDT/11:00 a.m. HT. The match will air live on ESPNU and streamed on ESPN+.
