Rosters are out for Women’s VNL! 
 

No Alexa Gray… guess she’s taking the summer off from the NT, but hopefully we’ll see her back for World Championships. 

 

Van Ryk, Maglio, and Johnson better step it up in her absence because that’s one of our top two attackers.

Men’s roster for VNL is out.

 

We’re going with a mix of youth and experience, with a lot of the big names missing like Szwarc, Loeppky, Demyanenko, Hoag, Eshenko…

 

On the plus side… Sclater is finally back, and Kofi is making his return from injury!

Canada open Women’s VNL with a win, defeating Bulgaria in 5!

 

Just an FYI for anyone wondering, the commentators mentioned on the stream that Gray is taking a break for the summer, she’s thankfully not injured.
