MILWAUKEE – Head volleyball coach Susie Johnson has announced the addition of transfer Hailey Hutchings to the roster for the upcoming 2025 season.
 
Hutchings comes to Milwaukee from Grand Canyon University, where she was a four-year member of the Antelopes' beach volleyball team.
 
"We are really excited about Hailey's athleticism and competitive nature," commented Johnson. "She has a unique background in that she has been in the beach game for her collegiate career, and we are looking forward to benefiting from her experience moving into the indoor game."
 
A native of Flower City, Texas, Hutchings helped GCU to 89 team wins over her four seasons. The beach volleyball season spans from mid-February to early May.
 
This past season, Hutchings secured a 21-6, 21-7 victory in her lone appearance, helping GCU clinch the third point in a best-of-five format against Benedictine Mesa.
 
As a junior, she won her first three matches of the season, contributing to 5-0 team wins over UTEP, Arizona Christian, and Portland. She also competed against nationally ranked programs such as Hawai'i, California, Stanford, and Washington—all top-12 teams at the time.
 
Hutchings played indoor volleyball at Flower Mound High School and competed at the club level for Instinct. She also played club beach volleyball for 692 Beach and was named to the Prep Dig Texas Top Player Rankings list in 2021.
 
She was a three-year varsity athlete at Flower Mound and a member of the 2018 Texas State Championship team.
