COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Minnesota sophomore outside Mckenna Wucherer is among the 18 athletes selected for the 2023 Women's U21 NORCECA Pan American Cup roster.
Twelve players from this group will be chosen to compete at the 2023 Women's U21 NORCECA Pan American Cup on May 23-28 in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. The team will train May 14-21 at the Anaheim National Team Training Center.
Dan Fisher, head coach of Pitt's women's volleyball team, will be the U21 team's head coach. He will be assisted by Josh Walker of Baylor and Jessica Aschenbrenner of Colorado State.
"USA Volleyball has put together a wonderful group of athletes and coaches, and it is humbling to get a chance to lead this group," Fisher said.
"I respect the training environment that U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Karch Kiraly and staff have created with the senior team. I hope to bring some of that gym culture into our U21 training. I expect intense competition in our training, preparing us for another strong showing at the Pan Am Cup."
The roster for the 2023 FIVB U21 World Championship on August 17-26 in León & Aguascalientes, Mexico, will be announced later this summer.
