COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Former Colorado standout Taylor Simpson has been selected to the USA Volleyball Women’s National Team that will compete at the 2016 Pan American Cup, July 2-10, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Simpson, who was one of 12 players selected to the roster, was CU’s first AVCA First Team All-American (2014). Despite playing only two seasons for the Buffs (2013-14), she left her mark in the record books. In 2014, Simpson broke CU’s single season kills record (518), hammering 591 during the year. An offensive powerhouse, Simpson hammered 20 or more kills in 10 matches, which broke CU’s record of nine matches with 20 or more kills in a season.
