Rio in Janeiro – Texas A&M volleyball’s Logan Lednicky was named to the U.S. Women’s National Team for the Volleyball Nations League, the organization announced Friday.
Lednicky joins a star-studded group of 14 athletes to represent the United States in Brazil for the first round of pool play for the Volleyball Nations League. The team traveling to Rio will play four matches versus Italy, Brazil, Czech Republic and South Korea.
“The past few weeks training in the USA gym has been such an amazing learning experience for me,” Lednicky said. “I am so blessed to be chosen for week one of VNL and can’t wait to represent the U.S. on an international stage for the first time.”
This will be Lednicky’s first time representing the Red, White and Blue at an international competition, and she is the first Aggie since Stacy Sykora in 2011 to compete for the U.S. Senior National Team.
“I couldn’t be prouder of Logan for being named to the U.S. Women’s National Team’s VNL roster,” head coach Jamie Morrison said. “Having spent time on the international stage, I know how special and formative that experience can be. Logan has earned this opportunity through relentless hard work, humility and an unwavering competitive spirit. Now the rest of the world gets to see what we’ve known at Texas A&M—she’s ready for this moment.”
Lednicky is coming off an outstanding junior campaign, as she was named an AVCA Second Team All-American and guided the team to its first NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 berth since 2019. She capped off the year with the second-highest kills per set total (4.47) and third-highest kill total (492) in a single season in A&M history during the rally-scoring era. The Sugar Land, Texas, native recorded 20+ kills in eight matches last season, including three straight in the Maroon & White’s three NCAA Tournament fixtures, a feat only two athletes in the tournament accomplished.
Volleyball Nations League is the world’s premier annual international indoor volleyball tournament. The top 16 teams in the world play four matches a week for three weeks of preliminary competition. The top eight teams at the end of the preliminaries will go to the final round.
