3 with local ties on FIVB Cup roster
Former Hawaii All-Americans Robyn Ah Mow-Santos and Heather Bown, and Punahou product Lindsey Berg have been selected to the roster for the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team which will compete in the FIVB World Cup beginning Friday in Japan.
The Cup is the first of three Olympic qualification steps for Beijing 2008. The top three teams at the World Cup qualify for the 2008 Olympics with other teams having two other chances to qualify through May.
Ah Mow-Santos (McKinley '93) played in the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games. The setter has started three of the four tournaments that Team USA has entered this year, starting all five matches during the NORCECA Championship, where the U.S. finished second.
Berg (Punahou '98) a 2004 Olympian as reserve setter, provided 37 assists in mainly a reserve role at the NORCECA Championship in her first tournament back after nearly a year away from the national team program. She started the final three sets of the NORCECA Championship gold medal match against Cuba.
Bown, a middle who played for the Rainbow Wahine in 1998 and '99, also is a two-time Olympian. She's been playing in Italy and returned to the national team this past summer.
