When the No. 4 University of Hawaii men’s volleyball team embarks on its first road trip of the 2024 season, the trip to Indiana will also double as a special homecoming for starting middle blocker Kurt Nusterer.
Nusterer, a 2021 graduate of Columbus North High School in Indiana, was a true freshman in 2022 when the Rainbow Warriors visited Ball State in January down multiple starters and lost a pair of matches. He did not play in 2022, preserving a redshirt season.
