Fourth Olympics for Scott-Arruda as USA confirms Women's Volleyball roster

(BEIJING, July 17) -- Three-time Olympian Danielle Scott-Arruda, who participated in the Atlanta, Sydney and Athens Olympics will make her fourth appearance at the Summer Games in Beijing, the US Olympics Committee confirmed on July 16. Scott-Arruda is part of the United State's 12-player roster selected by head coach Jenny Lang.

Scott-Arruda, who is 35 years old, joined the US Women's National Team in 1994. "I am overly elated to be selected to my fourth Olympic Games," she said. "Jenny called us in by groups to tell us who was selected. It was an awesome moment when my name was called."

Setter Robyn Ah Mow-Santos, outside setter Logan Tom, middle blocker Heather Bown and libero Stacy Sykora will compete in the Olympic Games for the third time, while Tayyiba Haneef-Park, setter Lindsey Berg and outside hitter Ogonna Nnamani will make their second Olympic trip.

Outside hitters Kim Glass and Kim Willoughby, middle blocker Jennifer Joines and libero Nicole Davis will be participating in the Olympic Games for the first time.

"It has not been easy to get to this final roster," Lang said. "We have been training more than 12 players, especially since January with the young, talented players. We try to balance all the positions, see different angles and give the team the best chance to play better. It took us over 20 meetings to make this final roster."
