U.S. Women Announce Roster For Volleyball Nations League In Argentina
Team USA has announced its active roster for the second round of Volleyball Nations League, June 12-14 in Santa Fe, Argentina.
The U.S. Women’s National Team enters the final preliminary round of the inaugural Volleyball Nations League riding a 10-match win streak—nine victories of which have come without losing a set.
The group responsible for the team's current run has remained intact since week two. And, despite the fact that other Final Round-bound countries are resting star players this week, head coach Karch Kiraly will make no changes to his 14-player roster.
The U.S. will wrap things up against third-place Serbia (9-3, 28 points) on June 12 at 5:40 PM CT, followed by 12th-place Korea (5-7, 14 points) on June 13 at 5:40 PM CT and 16th-place Argentina (0-12, 0 points) on June 14 at 6:40 PM CT.
The Americans are comfortably perched atop the VNL standings with an 11-1 record and 34 points after hammering No. 5 Russia, No. 4 Brazil and No. 1 China by a combined tally of 9-1 in Jiangmen, China last week.
Here's the U.S. roster for Santa Fe, Argentina, in full:
Setters (2)
Micha Hancock and Carli Lloyd.
Opposites (2)
Annie Drews and Kelly Murphy.
Outside Hitters (4)
Michelle Bartsch-Hackley, Kim Hill, Jordan Larson and Sarah Wilhite.
