HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The University of Hawaii is trying to recruit and keep more athletes by taking over fundraising.

Players and coaches say the new process is a game changer.

During recruitment as a transfer student, UH senior Allaire Berl said money did not motivate her decision to join the ‘Bows’ women’s tennis team.

“I was offered more money at other schools, and that was definitely something I thought about for a little, but once I came out and actually met the people here and just saw how hard working everyone is on the team, it was kind of a no-brainer for me to come here,” Berl recalled.

Teammate Makeilah Nepomuceno agreed, adding, “With looking at other schools, honestly nothing beat my official visit when I visited here in Hawaii. It was really about the people.”
