Tusalava Kuaea, Volleyball "The South Sound is talent-rich in volleyball players, so some student athletes who don’t get to start at a four-year may start right away at a community college."

Head Women's Volleyball Coach and Outreach Admissions Specialist Tusalava Kuaea is experienced and enthusiastic when it comes to shaping programs from the ground up. She inherits SPSCC volleyball in its third season and hopes to make a mark in the NWAC and support her players in earning their AA degrees and transferring to universities. Coach Kuaea has led teams to huge victories as both player and coach, including Lakes High School in Lakewood, Tacoma Community College, and University of Arkansas at Monticello, where she earned her degree in health and physical education.

You can catch women's volleyball matches at the SPSCC Gym (Bldg. 31).
