Hawaii volleyball: Emily Maglio makes Canadian national team, Stijn van Tilburg named academic all-district

The road trips will continue for Emily Maglio. The indoor and beach volleyball was one of 18 players selected to the Canadian Indoor National Team.

Maglio, who most recently earned AVCA All-America honorable mention honors in beach volleyball earlier this week, will be competing with Team Canada at the Challenge Cup — a continental pre-qualifier for the Volleyball Nations League to be held in Chateaugauay, Quebec — from May 31-June 2.

Canada also will compete in the Pan American Games in Peru the Women’s Olympic Qualifier in Russia laster this summer.

It’s been a busy travel time for Maglio, who was with the SandBows at the NCAA beach championships, flew to the Canadian indoor tryouts, then to Hawaii for graduation last Saturday.
