In leading the United States to its seventh Women's NORCECA U20 Championship in Aguascalientes—thus, qualifying for the 2019 FIVB age-group World Championship—Logan Eggleston also earned herself the Most Valuable Player award.
The U.S. Women’s Junior National Team dominated the Dominican Republic 25-20, 25-11, 25-20 in the gold-medal match on Saturday, capping the tournament with a perfect 5-0 record.
Eggleston, who was also named the tournament's Best Server, contributed eight points with five kills on 18 swings, two aces and a block in the title match.
“I am so excited. I am so proud of our team,” Eggleston said. “We played so hard tonight. I am so happy right now. I think we just came out really strong. I don’t think they were really expecting that. So I am really proud at how we played. We came out working together and being really good teammates.”
