Cos-Okpalla Named to USA Volleyball U23 National Team
May 19, 2025 | Volleyball
COLORADO SPRINGS – Texas A&M volleyball's Ifenna Cos-Okpalla was named to the USA Volleyball U23 North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation Pan American Cup training roster the organization announced Monday.
Cos-Okpalla's call up to the U23 national team marks her second-straight year earning the nod from Team USA, after being named to the collegiate national team last year. She joins a group of 18 which will gather for a training block at the National Team Training Center in Anaheim, Calif., from July 18-25. From this pool, 12 athletes will be chosen to represent the United States in Mexico.
"I'm proud of the work that Ifenna has put in on and off the court," head coach Jamie Morrison said. "This invitation is a testament to that hard work and is well deserved. I can't wait to see her playing for her country."
Cos-Okpalla had a dominant junior season for the Aggies, showing elite production both offensively and defensively. The middle blocker stuffed 161 swings in 2024, averaging 1.46 blocks a set which ranks second and third, respectively, in the Maroon & White's history books. On the offensive side of the net, the Flower Mound, Texas, native crushed 228 kills which is more than her previous two seasons combined. Cos-Okpalla's efficiency also jumped off the charts, as she hit at .374 percent across the year which ranked seventh on A&M's all-time list.
