U.S. Women's National Team Roster Set For World Championship
The U.S. Women's National Team has announced its 14-player roster for the upcoming FIVB World Championship.
The U.S. Women's National Team has announced its 14-player roster for the upcoming FIVB World Championship to be held Sept. 29-Oct. 20 in Japan.
The roster is a mesh of youth and experience—one head coach Karch Kiraly had to narrow down from 22 players ahead of the team's departure from its Anaheim, Calif.-based training camp on Sept. 23.
Check it:
- Setters (2): Micha Hancock (Edmond, Oklahoma), Carli Lloyd (Bonsall, California)
- Opposites (2): Karsta Lowe (Rancho Santa Fe, California), Kelly Murphy (Wilmington, Illinois)
- Middles (4): Rachael Adams (Cincinnati, Ohio), Foluke Akinradewo (Fort Lauderdale, Florida), Tori Dixon(Burnsville, Minnesota), Lauren Gibbemeyer (St. Paul, Minnesota)
- Outside Hitters (4): Michelle Bartsch-Hackley (Champaign, Illinois), Kim Hill (Portland, Oregon), Jordan Larson(Hooper, Nebraska), Sarah Wilhite Parsons (Eden Prairie, Minnesota)
- Liberos (2): Megan Courtney (Dayton, Ohio), Kelsey Robinson (Manhattan Beach, California)
“So far in 2018, our program appears to be on a good path,” Kiraly said. “We’ve had some good results, lots of players and staff have made important contributions, but ultimately those things don’t give us even one extra point at the World Championship. We’re going to have to go out and fight our hardest, every single play, to earn 25 points before the other team does.”
The Americans will begin their quest for gold on Sept. 29 against Azerbaijan. Every match of the 2018 FIVB Women's World Championship will stream LIVE on FloVolleyball.
