Team USA defeats Italy, earns 2012 Olympic berth
Team USA, the US Women's National Volleyball Team, earned an Olympic berth today with a 3-1 World Cup victory over previously undefeated Italy. The set scores were 25-23, 25-15, 22-25, 25-21.
Former University of Washington libero Tama Miyashiro is on the Team USA World Cup roster. She did not play in the Italy match, but has seen playing time during the 11-match round-robin tournament.
Team USA and Italy both have 9-1 records in World Cup play. USA can win the gold medal with a 3- or 4-set victory over host Japan on Friday. The top three finishers at the tournament earn the first three bids to the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London.
Several former Washington Huskies have been competing for a spot on the 2012 Olympic team, including Miyashiro, setter Courtney Thompson, setter Jenna Haglund, and outside hitters Becky Perry, Jill Collymore and Kindra Carlson. Those on the expanded roster spend part of each year training in Anaheim; many also sign professional contracts to play in Europe or Asia. At this point, Miyashiro would seem to have the best chance of the former UW players to earn a spot on the Olympic roster, with Thompson also a possibility. Thompson saw substantial playing time recently leading the USA to a Pan Am Games bronze medal.
