Wisconsin volleyball’s Maile Chan decides to enter transfer portal

Wisconsin volleyball player Maile Chan announced she is entering the transfer portal.
Chan is the third Wisconsin player to enter the portal following the Badgers’ Final Four loss.
Chan’s departure, along with Aniya Warren’s, leaves the team with limited depth at the libero position.

Another Wisconsin volleyball player is headed to the transfer portal.

Maile Chan has decided to enter the transfer portal, the sophomore libero/defensive specialist announced on Instagram on Dec. 19.

“I’ll hold these memories and girls in the deepest part of my heart,” Chan said in her Instagram post thanking Wisconsin fans and staff and announcing her decision. “I love you guys more than words can say.”

Chan appeared in 21 sets for the Badgers as a sophomore in 2025 after appearing in 17 sets as a freshman in 2024. She had 20 career digs and often subbed in to serve.

Her announcement shortly follows portal announcements by setter Addy Horner and fellow libero/defensive specialist Aniya Warren. All three come on the first day after Wisconsin’s season-ending Final Four loss to Kentucky.

Chan and Warren’s departures leave the Badgers particularly thin at libero. The only libero with eligibility remaining in 2026 is Kristen Simon, who started as a freshman in 2025. UW’s four-person 2026 recruiting class included two outside hitters and two middle blockers.

“I can’t. Love you so much,” said Charlie Fuerbringer, one of the team’s 2025 captains, in a comment on Chan’s Instagram post. “I don’t wanna be without you guys.”

The volleyball transfer portal window will be open through Jan. 5.

Allick was on the AVCA Player of the Year Watch List at the midway point of the season. She was also named to the AVCA All-First Serve Team, and she was the AVCA National Player of the Week and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week after two standout performances to begin the season against Pitt and Stanford.

Your Sports Nation

HONOLULU — University of Hawai’i women’s volleyball head coach Robyn Ah Mow announced the additions of two productive pin hitters who will join the Rainbow Wahine as transfers for the 2026 season.

Maëli Cormier, a 6-foot-2 opposite/outside hitter who spent her freshman year at Oregon State, and Panna Ratkai, a 5-foot-10 outside hitter who played at Dayton last season, have signed with the Rainbow Wahine and will enroll at UH for the spring semester. Cormier will have three seasons of eligibility remaining while Ratkai will spend her senior season at UH and both bring international experience with them to Mānoa.

“Both Maëli and Panna add a lot of maturity and competitiveness that will immediately upgrade our gym and culture the moment they step foot on campus,” Ah Mow said. “We are very excited to add them both to our ‘ohana and can’t wait to get to work when spring training begins.”

Cormier, originally from Les Îles de la Madeleine, Quebec, Canada, earned a spot on the West Coast Conference’s All-Freshman Team after averaging 2.63 kills per set for Oregon State in the 2025 season. She played in 28 matches with 12 starts and finished second on the team with 266 total kills. She posted double-figure kills in 13 matches with a season-high 20 in a five-set win over Saint Mary’s. She hit better than .300 in 10 matches and went over .400 five times. She was also the starting opposite with Canada’s U-21 team at the 2024 NORCECA Continental Championship in Toronto and led the team with 35 kills in the tournament. She also played with Canada’s U19 team in 2022 and was selected to the National Excellence Program in 2022 and ’23. She played club volleyball for Élans de Garneau and was a 2025 Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association All-Canadian selection.

Ratkai, originally from Budapest, Hungary, was a two-time Horizon League Offensive Player of the Year at Purdue Fort Wayne before spending the 2025 season at Dayton. After redshirting in 2022, Ratkai put away 1,048 kills and averaged 4.62 per set over her two seasons at Purdue Fort Wayne. She finished the 2024 season ranked 15^th in the nation with 4.57 kills per set and 19^th with 5.17 points per set and was an AVCA All-America Honorable Mention selection. She also had 586 digs and recorded 30 double-doubles in her two seasons with the Mastodons. Ratkai competed with the Hungarian National Team last summer and played in 41 sets and posted 82 kills and 71 digs at Dayton this past season.

Cormier and Ratkai join incoming freshmen Cameron Holcomb and Rachel Purser in UH’s signing class for the 2026 season.

December 20, 2025

Your Sports Nation

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – Creighton volleyball is on a heater in the NCAA transfer portal, which opened Dec. 7 and closes Jan. 5.

Texas middle blocker transfer Ayden Ames committed to the Bluejays Friday.

A former Nebraska commit before flipping to Texas in 2023, Ames averaged 1.52 kills and 1.11 blocks per set with a .368 hitting percentage as a sophomore this season. She has two years of eligibility remaining.

Ames is the second transfer commitment this offseason, joining former Kansas setter Katie Dalton, who pledged to Creighton for her final season on Dec. 17.

Dalton helped lead the Jayhawks to a NCAA regional semifinal appearance, where they lost to Nebraska. She averaged 8.76 assists and 2.27 digs per set and earned All-Big 12 Second-Team honors.

Bluejays’ coach Brian Rosen has two AVCA Second-Team All-Americans to replace in outside hitter Ava Martin and middle blocker Kiara Reinhardt. They also lose Third-Team All-American setter Annalea Maeder.

Yet, the program still made an NCAA regional final this season despite losing seven seniors and two All-Americans from the 2024 roster.
