The University of Minnesota will have two representatives on Team USA's Collegiate National Team – Japan Tour, announced today by USA Volleyball. CC McGraw and Taylor Morgan will both be making their first appearance with Team USA's Collegiate National Team.
The squad will tour May 19-30 in Japan where it will have a series of training sessions and matches. The tour is unique in that the U.S. will play against Nippon Sport Science University, one of the best collegiate volleyball teams in Japan, as well as Japan's Women's 20 and World University Games teams.
Below is the tentative match schedule:
A first-year starter for the Gophers, Morgan had 249 kills and averaged 2.42 per set. The red-shirt junior ranked second in the team in hitting percentage (.379) and blocks per set (1.10). McGraw completed her first year as a Gopher when she added a team-best 428 digs and averaged 4.00 digs per set. McGraw also added 23 aces and 98 assists as a rookie last season.
