Freshman Setter from Hawaii
With the 2018 season set to begin, No. 19 Utah has welcomed five newcomers to the roster with two transfers and three freshmen.
Leading up to the season, Utahutes.com will be posting a quick Q&A with each newcomer. The fourth newcomer is setter Saige Ka'aha'aina-Torres.
She helped lead 'Iolani High School to three straight Hawaii Division I State title matches and a state championship in 2016. Ka'aha'aina-Torres would go on to be named the 2017 Star Advisor Hawaii Player of the Year and was named a Second Team Under Armour All-American.
She is from Honolulu, Hawaii and majoring in business law.
While you were getting recruited, what made you so excited about Utah?
How amazing the program was! The coaching staff and the girls made everything feel so family oriented, which was nice to have being so far from home.
What stood out to you about campus when you came to visit?
The atmosphere of the Huntsman Center was so amazing and surreal. It made me that much more excited. Really, the atmosphere of the entire city in general was just so breath taking!
How would you describe your game on the court?
Very competitive and thoughtful. I enjoy being part of a team, and I don't like to lose.
What are your goals on and off the court while you're in a college?
I want to graduate with a business degree, possibly graduate early and then go to grad school for law. On the court, I want to win a national championship!
What do you want to add to the team this season?
Competition and love for the game
