"I love coaching USA teams," said Browning. "It is always an honor and a privilege to be involved with the athletes representing our country. These are among the best of the best volleyball players in the USA. This team in particular is a very high-level team. The Pan Am Games is a really fun event. It is a multi-sport event with amazing athletes from all over the Western Hemisphere. Some of the players on this team still have NCAA eligibility, and others are seasoned veterans with significant international experience. Two of these athletes, Madison Lilley and Gabby Curry, will be on the opposite side of the net from the Gaels when we play the University of Kentucky in Utah to start off the 2019 indoor season."
