This year’s Nationals were held in Dallas, Texas, from May 26 to the 31st. The women’s team lost three players within two weeks before the tournament, two of which were due to injuries. Even though the team had to make last minute player/position changes due to the loss of players, they were able to finish with 4 losses and 3 wins, ranking 33 out of 65 participating teams from all around the US including teams from other countries like Brazil, Venezuela, Peru and Canada. They were also able to watch and meet the US Volleyball National seating team that has won the past Olympics as they were also competing at Nationals this year.
