Seabury Hall wins program’s first-ever state DII volleyball title

Maui’s Seabury Hall clinched the program’s first-ever state Division II volleyball title. The top-seeded Lady Spartans secured the Hawaiʻi High School Athletic Association’s DII Girls Volleyball State Championship with a 3-1 victory over the third-seeded Waipahu Marauders on Friday, Oct. 30, 2026, at the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu.

The Lady Spartans established an early lead by taking the first two sets with identical 25-18 scores. Their offense was driven by heavy point production from Milaniakai Padilla and Dillon McLellan, alongside effective setting from D. Keomaka-Wood.

Padilla’s performance earned her the All-Tournament Team, Most Outstanding Player Award. Teammates Tulsi Erlemann (L), Destiny Keomaka-Wood (S), Dillon McLellan and Kamalei Stewart all earned spots on the All-Tournament Team

Waipahu responded strongly in the third set, to mount a decisive 25-12 set victory.
