Team USA Announces Week 3 VNL Roster
The U.S. Women’s National Team has announced its 15-player roster for Week 3 of the 2026 Volleyball Nations League in Osaka, Japan.
Team USA currently leads the VNL standings, and enters the final week of preliminary-round play with a 7-1 record after going undefeated during Week 2 in the Philippines. The Americans swept the Dominican Republic, Czechia and Italy before closing the week with a four-set victory over Serbia.
Head coach Erik Sullivan will bring back the same 15-player roster from Week 2 as the United States looks to secure a spot in the Volleyball Nations League Finals. Once again, the roster includes six Olympians: Micha Hancock, Jordyn Poulter, Avery Skinner, Chiaka Ogbogu, Dana Rettke and Jordan Thompson.
The list also features four Athletes Unlimited Pro Volleyball stars, including Thompson and Hancock, as well as Morgan Hentz and Molly McCage.
