Montreux, Circa 1900Fawcett, Glass and Harmotto Named to Final Roster
Montreux, Switzerland! What a great place to be today (or any day, really), as the U.S. Women’s National Team faces off against Peru in the 2011 Montreux Volley Masters Tournament.
Sadly, we are not there. But three former Penn State players — Nicole Fawcett, Alisha Glass, and Christa Harmotto — are, as part of the final U.S. Women’s National Team roster for the 2011. Penn State’s Head Coach Russ Rose also is there, as the designated team leader/manager.
Hats off and good luck to Nicole, Alisha, Christa, and Coach Rose, and to the entire U.S. team, which ranks second in the world, trailing only Olympic Games champion Brazil.
