The number one country in terms of college volleyball players is America. All players selected for the Volleyball World Cup have also played college volleyball in the past. In addition, a large number of Canadian girls used to play for a university and a number of girls from other countries also have a history in the American college competition. In total, about 50 former college volleyball student-athletes are participating in the World Cup. Below we have listed some of these volleyball heroes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kathryn Plummer is an outside hitter and player of the United States national volleyball team. From 2016 to 2019, she combined college and volleyball at Stanford University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In three of the four years, she won the NCAA National Championship with Stanford; in 2016, 2018 and 2019 the team was allowed to call itself the best. In addition, all three years, Kathryn was part of the NCAA all-tournament team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that the American can call herself one of the best volleyball players is also proven by the fact that Kathryn received a full scholarship from Stanford. In 2017 and 2018, Kathryn was named National Player of the Year and in 2018 and 2019 she received the Most Outstanding Player award.

It is inevitable that Kathryn Plummer will also shine during this tournament, we are certainly looking forward to seeing her in action during the Volleyball World Cup in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her first season it became immediately clear that Hancock was one of the best, she became Big Ten Freshman of the Year and set a record for Penn State with most aces in a season (91). As Sophomore, she was named Big Ten Setter of the Year and was part of the first-team All-American.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
