Team profile

The US women’s junior team captured the 2010 NORCECA Women's Junior Continental Championship to qualify for the 2011 FIVB Volleyball Women's Junior World Championship to be held in Peru. The Americans have won the NORCECA Women's Junior Continental Championship four consecutive times.

The US will be making its seventh appearance at the Women's Junior World Championship, including six of the last seven events. The Americans will look to improve upon their 12th-place finish in 2009 and reach the medal stand for the first time. The US has a top-finish of fourth place at the 2007 edition.

Six players named to the 2011 US women's junior team competed on the 2010 squad that captured gold at the NORCECA event in Mexico. Returning players include outside hitters Kelly Reeves and Stephanie Holthus. Returning middle blockers include Haleigh Hampton and Carly Wopat. Molly Kreklow is the lone returning setter and Jennifer Bonilla returns as a libero/defensive specialist.

New to the team are outside hitters Moneshia Simmons, Madison Kingdom and Haley Eckerman. Middle blocker Sallie McLaurin, setter Lauren Plum and libero/defensive specialist Natalie Hagglund all join the team for the first time.

Browning, who also coached the 2010 WJNT, will be assisted by Erik Sullivan and Jill Kramer. Sullivan is the assistant women’s volleyball coach at the University of Texas, while Kramer is the women’s volleyball coach at West Virginia University.
