COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – TCU volleyball's Alice Volpe was selected by USA Volleyball to attend its 2026 Women's National Team Collegiate Training from February 19-22 at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
Volpe wrapped up her sophomore campaign leading the team with 476 digs, the eighth most in a single season in school history and second most by a sophomore. One of the top liberos in the Big 12 conference, she averaged 3.90 digs per set and tallied double-digit digs in 29 of the Frogs' 32 matches, including the final 19 of the season. The Cypress, Texas, native registered a career-best 24 digs in the TCU's regular season finale at Houston (Nov. 29) and 23 digs in the win over Wyoming (Sept. 11), the third most in a three-set match in TCU history. Volpe also added 153 assists and 23 aces over the course of the year.
The three-day training will bring together 62 athletes representing 20 USA Volleyball regions, with participants from 29 NCAA Division I universities.
