Team USA recently concluded the World Grand Prix competition, collecting a silver-medal finish after losing to Brazil in the final. 

"We aspire to be a team that adds up to far more than the sums of our parts," Kiraly said. "We are extremely fortunate to have so many great people and great players who give us so much passion and effort to this program -- and we will look to honor their contributions by competing our hardest in Rio. Ultimately, we have assembled a group that we believe is capable of embracing the challenges a tournament like the Olympics will surely present."
