If the scores for the scrimmage accurately reflect the relative strength of the Peru team compared to the USA team, FIFA, excuse me, the FIVB should be embarrassed by make-up POOL A. I can understand the desire to give Peru and "easy" draw, but, that Pool is ridiculous compared to the others. This is pretty mild as far as FIVB attempt to get the hosts into the medal round go. USA did a tough draw, with the gold and bronze medalists from this Spring's U18 European Champs in it, plus a Dominican team that is likelier than not pretty "mature".

Exactly! In addition, Argentina appears to have improved in the last two years. Adding insult, Pool D may be tougher than Pool C. As Pool C is crossing over with Pool D in the elimination round, it is going to be a real challenge to get into the top 8.

Luckily enough, USA is stacked in this age group. Hopefully these great athletes can gel in time.

I demand a press release on this right now! The Instagram and Tumblr posts are not enough! What? They're in Peru? That was supposed to be a secret

Did Lauren Stivrins get added to the YNT? I just saw that she is in Machu Picchu, Peru.

My initial reaction when I saw she was in Peru was that maybe she was added. My geography skills aren't good enough to know how far Machu Picchu, Peru is from where the YNT is playing. www.yooying.com/p/1045297035591847342_28538618

Even if Stivrins were added would she see time playing? I don't know there are a lot of good middles already on the team

But maybe she's visiting Machu Picchu and then going to watch the team play.

The GYNT won its second scrimmage. http://instagram.com/p/6DxVDunq0u It looks like they used a different lineup. From what I can decipher L: Tiffany Clark OH: Lexi Sun M: Brionne Butler Kathryn Plummer Not sure who's blocking with Butler. I can't tell what number that is
