Houston Christian University has added two transfers to the 2026 recruiting class as announced by Head Coach Trent Herman on Monday afternoon. Enisilina Savelio and Emma Wild will join the Huskies in the spring semester in preparation for the 2026 campaign. They join a recruiting class that includes the early trio of high school signees Malaya Balina-Ayers, Leighton Hale and Katelyn Vo, who will be incoming freshmen next Fall.
 
Savelio is a 5'11 setter who is transferring from Lander University. She played her junior season for the Bearcats, starting all 31 matches and posting 1,082 assists across 118 sets. She had 16 double-doubles on the campaign, and also recorded four triple-doubles. She recorded a season-high of 11 kills to go with 42 assists and 19 digs against Winston-Salem State, and posted career-bests of 48 assists against Augusta and 22 digs on two occasions. For the season, she averaged 9.2 assists to go with 1.47 kills and 2.9 digs.
 
The Henderson, Nevada native spent her first two collegiate seasons at East Tennessee State University, where she averaged 1.26 assists and 1.73 digs while playing in 49 matches and 168 total sets. She recorded 2.9 digs per game as a freshman.
 
Wild is a 5'9 outside hitter who hails from Rio Rancho, New Mexico. She played her rookie collegiate campaign at New Jersey Institute of Technology, appearing in 63 sets over 20 matches played for the Highlanders.
 
While registering season averages of 2.08 kills and 2.19 digs at NJIT, Wild recorded five double-digit kill efforts and three outings with double-figure digs. She had a career-best 13 kills against Saint Peter's, and matched that in her first-ever career double-double at Binghamton when she added a career-best 17 digs.
 
COACH HERMAN ON THE TRANSFERS:
 
"We are excited about Lina and Emma joining our program, as adding some collegiate experience was important for this incoming class. Both of these ladies fill an immediate need, and we are looking forward to getting to work this Spring."
 
The two have joined Houston Christian University for the Spring semester. The recruiting class now sits at five, with the Huskies losing just one senior from this past year's club in Cassidy Drapela.
 
HCU finished an injury-ravaged 2025 campaign at 12-18 overall, advancing to its 13th consecutive Southland Conference Tournament.
