Beach Volleyball Adds Two Graduate Transfers

BOISE, Idaho - Boise State's head beach volleyball coach Allison Buck announced on Wednesday the addition of two graduate transfers Sedona Hansen (Tennessee) and Evi Wilson (Montana State) who have signed financial aid agreements for the 2021 campaign. Both bring solid experience with them having played for four years on their respective schools' indoor volleyball teams. They will bring that experience and leadership to Boise State as they transition to the beach game.

Coach Buck's comments on the new recruits, "Our beach volleyball program is so excited to have grad transfers Sedona Hansen and Evi Wilson be a part of our team. They both bring in great experience from playing in high school and during the summers. Both are coming off great careers at the University of Tennessee and Montana State University. Their character and drive to play at a high level are only a couple of reasons why they are a great fit for our program. They have the potential to make an immediate impact. I can't wait to get back in the sand this fall with our team!"
