Hanna Announces Two Commits Ahead of 2026 Season

Canisius volleyball head coach Tom Hanna announced two signees to the incoming class that will compete with the Golden Griffins starting next season.

Information on both newcomers can be found below:

Hanna Rider
5'5" | Libero
Page HS | Alliance VBC

A four-year letter winner and three-year starter at Page High School, Hannah Rider joins Canisius after being named to the 2025 District 10AAA All-Tournament Team after leading District 10AAA in digs for the 2025 season. Rider is a member of the National Society of High School Scholars.

"Hannah is a libero who brings solid passing skills" said Tom Hanna. "We focus on winning the sideout phase of the game, and Hannah will certainly help us there. She has great experience
and training from Alliance VBC and Page HS that will help her transition to the college
game. In keeping with our culture, Hannah is a great student and teammate, and we
look forward to her joining the Griffs."

Kenslie Warmbrodt
6'3" | Setter
Reno HS | Northern Nevada Juniors VBC

Kenslie Warmbrodt joins Canisius after being named to the 2025 Northern Nevada 5a All-Region 1st Team. Warmbrodt led Reno HS to a fourth-place finish in Nevada in 2023 and 2024 while also being a AP Scholar in 2025.

"Kenslie is a talented setter whose best volleyball is in front of her and we look forward
to fostering her development here at Canisius" said Hanna. "Her skill set and size make her a solid addition to the Griffs on the court, and in keeping with our priorities, Kenslie is another
great student and teammate that will be a great fit in our program."
