SALT LAKE CITY - University of Utah outside hitter Airial Salvo will get the chance to hone her skills with some of the best collegiate volleyball players in the country during this offseason.
The freshman from Farmington, Utah is one of only 12 players selected to play on the 2006 USA Women's National Volleyball A2 Team.
"This is a very big accomplishment," remarked Utah head coach Beth Launiere. "It's going to be an invaluable experience for her to play with top athletes from across the country. Playing high-level volleyball like this will keep her on track for the goals she has set for herself both collegially and nationally."
