Yoana Palacio is out of the cuban NT.
The only young player with some experience is Giel now. Poor Cuba
Yoana Palacio is out of the cuban NT.
The only young player with some experience is Giel now. Poor Cuba
Palacios was dismissed because of her personal projection differring from the programmed route performance determined by National Commission and the coaches of female national team. therefore, Cuba NT only has 11 players left to complete the NORCECA championship.
Borrell, Giel, Rojas and Lescay are the most experienced ones among the young team and the youngest player is the 13 yo opposite Vargas.
Cuba NT 11 player roster
S (2): Beatriz Vilches, Dailirys Cruz
OP (1): Melissa Vargas
OH (3): Sulian Matienzo, Jennifer Álvarez, Daymara Lescay
MB (3): Rosanna Giel, Alena Rojas, Heydi Rodríguez
L (2): Emily Borrell, Dayessi Luis
USA 12 player Roster (with coming-back Larson)
S - Alisha Glass, Jenna Hagglund
OP - Kelly Murphy, Nicole Fawcett
OH - Kristin Hildebrand, Kim Hill, Jordan Larson-Burbach, Cassidy Lichtman
MB - Christa Harmotto, Lauren Gibbemeyer, Lauren Paolini
L - Kayla Banwarth
PR 12 player Roster
S - Natalia Valentin, Wilmarie Rivera
OP - Yarimar Rosa, Ania Ruiz
OH - Karina Ocasio, Stephanie Enright, Aury Cruz
MB - Sheila Ocasio, Lynda Morales, Diana Reyes
L - Shara Venegas, Debora Seilhamer
Ok, so Vargas from WGP is still OPP and now Lescay is converted from MB to OH. Weird that most experienced player Palacio is out but it's Cuba
About Puerto Rico: Is Wilmarie Rivera, Mojica? Did she get married? If yes, Puerto Rico will be stronger than during WGP, having also Cruz and Seilhamer back. I thought maybe also Enright or Oquendo will join here
What about Dominican Republic? I suppose that we'll see players from this list (maybe someone will be out):
S: Echenique, Marte
MB: Vargas, Arias, Fersola
OH: De La Cruz, Rivera, Pena
OPP: Mambru, Martinez, Rodriguez, Nunez
L: Castillo, Binet

No she is not. Willmarie is the setter in last youth WCh. (http://www.fivb.org/EN/volleyb…182013&Team=PUR&No=136611)

Fefa Enright had a bad injury when she was in Toray Arrows. I guess she's not ready to play yet.
Nathalia Valentin and Michelle Nogueras are both young setter, so I guess there's not anymore space for Vilmarie Mojica. Maybe her sisters could be part of NT, she is 23, so Yeimily could take a spot in the team in the future. It looks like Federation wanted to play with this new generation last summer, but this year Karina Ocasio Malipica and her sister Sheila Ocasio came back, so I don't really know. There may space for Valmarie again, but I doubt. BTW Nogueras was outstanding in the 2012 season (best setter and rising star awards for her), the same about Valentin in 2013 season (she was regular season and All-Star Game MVP).
About the libero, Shara Venegas was among top liberos in World Grand Prix and was the best libero of last LVSF. BTW Seilhamer was best receiver and best digger. Venegas is younger, so I guess she'll stay main libero at the moment.

PR is the firststep for the USA players to play professional, so I follow LVSF even if the streaming is so bad (they use to show the matches for behind the players)!
Are there any News about the final Rosters of Mexico and Trinidad and Tobago?
Here will be livestreams:

Shara Venegas will not play for Puerto Rico.
She decided not to go to Nebraska.
The DT said that the reason was because he decided to use Deborah as the starting Libero and Shana did not want to be seating on the bench...but the player said that her reason was to go back to school and finish her last year of college.
She might be suspended by the Puerto Rico volleyball federation for refusing to go to Nebraska.
VOLLEYDR, do you know Dominican Republic's roster?
