Team profile
USA are on something of a roll as of late. The 2008 Olympic Games silver medallists turned in three podium finishes in 2010 before following up by successfully defending their FIVB World Grand Prix crown in 2011 and then adding the NORCECA Women’s Championship to cap off a memorable build-up to the FIVB World Cup.

In 2010, after picking up silver at the Montreux Volley Masters, the US took bronze at the Pan American Cup and had an 11-match winning streak en route to clinching the FIVB World Grand Prix, winning the gold medal with an undefeated record in the Finals. Foluke Akinradewo was named the Most Valuable Player and Best Blocker, while Alisha Glass earned Best Setter in her first senior FIVB event. Destinee Hooker was the fourth-best scorer in her first senior FIVB event and after just four weeks’ training with the team.

During the 2010 FIVB World Championship, the US went undefeated in their first-round pool but lost a four-set match to eventual champions Russia in the semifinals, followed by a tough five-set loss to hosts Japan in the bronze-medal match. Logan Tom was selected as the Best Receiver, while Stacy Sykora earned Best Libero honors. USA finished 2010 with an overall 28-13 record – a 10-win improvement over 2009.
Coach profile
Hugh McCutcheon is in his third season as the US women’s team coach after serving as coach of the men’s team that won gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. He has guided the US women to a 72-34 record with a team built around both established veterans and young players. McCutcheon coached the US to consecutive FIVB World Grand Prix titles in 2010 and 2011, along with the 2011 NORCECA Continental Championship gold medal and a fourth-place finish at the 2010 World Championship. Since 2010, the US has finished on the podium in six tournaments.
