Eckerman, Courtney, Whitney all are to play for Leonas de Ponce.
That's great. And PR in the winter is terrific. If only I could find the schedule. I don't think it's just a matter of linguistics...the Leagua Feminista website is pretty impenetrable. Anyone have better luck?

I think this is what you are looking for: Here is main page to take you to below 2 links: Main Page2016 ScheduleNext match is today against San Juan at 7:00pm ET. I think you can follow it(and any other match) live once it starts via stats HEREStandings & Box scoresLooks like Courtney and Whitney did great in last match Ponce last match (Box Scores) Lost in 5 against the likes of Hawaii's Kim Willoughby and Purdue's Annie Drews. Would have loved to watch that match. Maybe it's on Youtube somewhere. I used Google Chrome which has a page translator on browser. |

Nice. It's interesting that they're already playing. Aren't they going to finish their last semester or did they graduate already?

ONLY (Ha!) 4 PSU stars made it on to the 14-member U.S. Women’s National Team for the 2016 Olympics!
Coach Karch, back in '07, didn't seem to bother to learn the names of the PSU players, so enamored was he (in his broadcaster role) of Stanford. The the PSU Lions took the NCAAs 07-08-09-10 for an unprecedented 4-peat. And now Coach can't seem to get enough Lions on board. SO: VB DOES exist east of the Mississippi.

Only 12 can get on roster for Rio. I think they drop a libero (Natalie Hagglund) and a middle (Rachael Adams). Which means 3/4 of the roster will be from BIG10. |

Easy would the least likely out of the 4 to make it but that doesn't mean I don't think she will make it. |
