Personal: The final recruit of the 2024 class comes to Corban from over the Pacific Ocean in her hometown of Keaau, Hawaii, as Masanda grew up in the sand and looks to continue that trend as a Warrior. She played on a handful of beach volleyball club teams, most notably the Hilo Beach Volleyball Club, and was a member of the runner-up team in the 2023 KVA Women’s Summer Jam Open. Having also played three years of varsity indoor volleyball and earned All-League Honorable Mention on two occasions, Masanda will have an opportunity to continue to grow upon that success in the Pacific Northwest.

Masanda will be studying biology with a concentration on biokinetics to kick off her freshman campaign.
