CALGARY, Alberta, Canada – University of Hawai’i men’s volleyball players Kainoa Wade and Trevell Jordan helped the United States capture the gold medal at the 2025 NORCECA U21 Pan American Cup at the 7 Chiefs Sportsplex & Chief Jim Starlight Centre.
In the title match, Wade tallied 10 points, all on kills, while Jordan added nine points (7 kills, 2 blocks) in leading Team USA to a 26-24, 25-21, 22-25, 25-18 victory over host Canada. Incoming libero Quintin Greenidge had seven digs for Team Canada and was named the tournament’s Best Libero and Best Receiver.
Wade and Jordan led the U.S. to a perfect 5-0 mark in robin play. Canada went 4-1 in round robin play with its only loss to Team USA. Greenidge finished the tournament with 65 excellent receptions, tops among all players, and 44 digs, which was second-most.
The U.S. and Canada met earlier in the tournament with Wade tallying 13 kills and two blocks in the match. Both Wade and Jordan started four of the six matches for the Americans. Wade reached double-figures in kills three times with 37 total kills while Jordan totaled 28 kills and nine blocks, the latter of which was second-most on the team.
Both the U.S. and Canada already qualified for the U21 World Championship in China later this month. The 12-member U.S. roster has not been set. Looking to make the team are Wade, Jordan, Tread Rosenthal, Finn Kearney, and Justin Todd.
