Another Wisconsin volleyball player is headed to the transfer portal.
Maile Chan has decided to enter the transfer portal, the sophomore libero/defensive specialist announced on Instagram on Dec. 19.
“I’ll hold these memories and girls in the deepest part of my heart,” Chan said in her Instagram post thanking Wisconsin fans and staff and announcing her decision. “I love you guys more than words can say.”
Chan appeared in 21 sets for the Badgers as a sophomore in 2025 after appearing in 17 sets as a freshman in 2024. She had 20 career digs and often subbed in to serve.
Her announcement shortly follows portal announcements by setter Addy Horner and fellow libero/defensive specialist Aniya Warren. All three come on the first day after Wisconsin’s season-ending Final Four loss to Kentucky.
Chan and Warren’s departures leave the Badgers particularly thin at libero. The only libero with eligibility remaining in 2026 is Kristen Simon, who started as a freshman in 2025. UW’s four-person 2026 recruiting class included two outside hitters and two middle blockers.
"I can't. Love you so much," said Charlie Fuerbringer, one of the team's 2025 captains, in a comment on Chan's Instagram post. "I don't wanna be without you guys."
The volleyball transfer portal window will be open through Jan. 5.
