USAV probably release roster by Friday?

Please pleeze pleeeeease hope Logan's on the list!!

WAO!! USA is same pool with CUB!!!!
USA should BEAT CUB!!

The U.S Women partial roster announced acoording to FIVB.org

Logan makes the team as expected!!

The U.S. roster includes a highly talented group of veteran Olympians, with Danielle Scott-Arruda, Heather Bown, Logan Tom, Nancy Metcalf, Lindsey Berg, Cynthia Barboza and Stacey Sykora. Young guns such as Kristin Richards, Alexis Crimes and Jordan Larson will also make the trip. The Americans finished second in 2007 and were runners-up in the five editions that preceded their threepeat in 2001, 2003 and 2005.

Woohooo! That's great news!

I'm surprised Jordan Larson is on the roster. Her mother passed away yesterday from cancer.

Puerto Rico team: Aury Cruz, Vilmarie Mojica, Tatiana Encarnación, Debora Seilhammer, Alexandra Oquendo, Saraí Álvarez, Sheila Ocasio, Eva Cruz, Raimariely Santos, Ania Ruiz, Stephanie Enright, Diana Reyes, Wilnelia González, Shara Venegas.

not sure what this video about... PR team modeling new uni?

Logan doesn't make the final cut for NORCECA Champs.

isnt this the screwiest roster release??? geez first there was the totally misleading press release from norceca/fivb last thurs... compound that with usav waiting until late monday afternoon to release the final roster??? so did 14 players fly out to PR or 19?

just dont really understand why usav couldnt let us know earlier... oh say at the time the selected players were probly packing for their early sunday flight... and what the heck does this mean... sounds like a lame excuse...

Teams submit a 19-player preliminary roster (O-2 Form) prior to each event, but must reduce the roster to either 12 or 14 players (O-2bis Form) depending on the regulations for the event. The O-2bis final roster must be turned in during the team’s preliminary inquiry held the day before the tournament begins.

This sucks!!!!! Boo to FIVB / USAV.
