Over the weekend, Alexander took a moment to express her gratitude for her time in Hawaii. In a heartfelt social media post, she wrote, “I am forever grateful that I was able to experience this beautiful place filled with amazing fans, friends, and family! I will always hold a special place in my heart for Hawaii!”
Additionally, her teammates, middle Jacyn Bamis and backup setter Jackie Matias, have also entered the transfer portal following the conclusion of the 2024 season.
