MACAU, China
The U.S. women’s national volleyball team posted a 1-2 record over the weekend in the FIVB World Grand Prix with the help of a pair of past Penn State standouts — former All-Americans Micha Hancock and Megan Courtney.
The weekend closed with a 3-2 loss to China on Sunday morning, with a 15-11 fifth set.
Both former Nittany Lions played all five sets, with Hancock making 11 running sets in part-time setter duties, and Courtney had five digs playing in the back row.
On Saturday, the U.S. was handed its first loss of the tournament, falling 3-2 to Italy, with a 15-13 fifth set.
