Norah Sis helps Americans to second straight win
BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR, Mexico - Rising Creighton sophomore Norah Sis had a team-high eight kills as the USA Volleyball Under-21 National Team picked up a 3-0 victory on Wednesday night at the Pan American Cup. Scores of the match in favor of the American side were 25-17, 25-19, 25-22.
Sis finished with eight kills, eight digs and two blocks in the victory, which came just 24 hours after she wrapped up her national team debut with three kills and three digs in a victory over Costa Rica.
SIs owned three kills, three digs and a block and led Team USA with four points during the 25-17 set one victory.
She contributed two kills, three digs and a block in a 25-19 second set triumph before collecting three kills and two digs as the US finished off the 25-22 sweep.
Florida's Merritt Beason topped Team USA with 11 points as she finished with seven kills, two blocks and two aces. The 10 points, eight digs and two blocks by Sis were all second-most on the American side.
The Pan American Cup is a qualifier for the 2023 FIVB U21 World Championship. Ten teams are competing in three pools to begin the tournament. The United States will share Pool C with Argentina, Canada and Costa Rica. Pool A will include Dominican Republic, Cuba and Puerto Rico while Pool B holds Mexico, Chile and Honduras.
Sis led Creighton last fall with 3.75 kills per set and her 435 kills were 106 more than any other freshman on a top-25 team. The Papillion, Neb., product was named to four different All-Tournament Teams and brought home MVP honors at the BIG EAST Tournament. The outside hitter was named AVCA Third Team All-American, AVCA East Region Freshman of the Year, AVCA All-East Region, BIG EAST Freshman of the Year, picked up six BIG EAST Freshman of the Week accolades and also landed on the All-BIG EAST Team. She averaged 4.43 kills per set and 3.36 digs per set on .260 hitting in eight contests against top-50 opponents. She was named VolleyballMag.com's National Freshman of the Year after helping Creighton to a 31-4 overall record and BIG EAST Tournament and regular-season titles.
