Jul 25, 2025 | Volleyball
LEÓN, Mexico – Texas A&M volleyball's Ifenna Cos-Okpalla was named to the U.S. Women's U23 National Team for the North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation Pan American Cup, the organization announced Friday.
Cos-Okpalla earned her first national team competition selection, as she and 11 other athletes make the trip to Mexico for the United States first U23 Pan American Cup appearance.
A&M's dominant force in the middle of the court, Cos-Okpalla, blocked 161 swings during her junior year, averaging 1.46 a set, which rank second and third, respectively, in the Maroon & White's history books. Offensively, the Flower Mound, Texas, native recorded 228 kills while hitting at a .374 percent clip throughout last season.
Cos-Okpalla's dominance throughout the 2024 campaign also landed her on the AVCA All-America list at the end of last year, while earning her spots on the AVCA Player of the Year Watch List and Preseason All-SEC Team ahead of the 2025 season.
The U23 Pan American Cup includes three matches of group play, followed by three knockout rounds in the quarterfinals, semifinals and final, to determine the tournament champion.
