COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Volleyball has announced players and staff for the 2022 U.S. Women’s Collegiate National Team (WCNT), featuring BYU senior middle blocker Heather Gneiting and junior outside hitter Erin Livingston Anderson.
The team includes 38 of the country’s top collegiate women’s volleyball players and a coaching staff of seven, including three Olympic medal winners and two others with Olympic coaching experience.
Head coach of the St. Mary’s women’s volleyball team, Rob Browning, will serve as the team’s head coach. Browning assisted the U.S. Men’s National Team at three Olympic Games and has served as a consultant coach for the U.S. Women’s National Team over the last four years.
