WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Setter Taylor Anderson was selected by USA Volleyball for the 2024 U21 Women's National Team.
Anderson is one of 20 players in the nation to be tapped for the honor, including one of three setters, to train in Anaheim, California on June 14-22. During that time, 12 of the 20 athletes will be selected to represent the United States at the 2024 U21 Women's NORCECA Continental Championship on June 23-July 1 in Toronto, Canada.
It is the third consecutive year a Boilermaker has earned this opportunity, with Eva Hudson and Chloe Chicoine members of the 12-woman roster a year ago, while Raven Colvin and Chicoine played on the team in 2022.
Coming off a 2023 season which culminated in an All-Big Ten Freshman Team nod, Anderson is one of two Purdue true-freshmen to average 9.88 assists per set in her inaugural season. Additionally, she produced the most blocks by a freshman setter in Purdue history (95). During the NCAA tournament, the San Antonio, Texas, native set a record for Purdue in an NCAA tournament match with 60 assists in the NCAA Second Round vs. No. 6-seed Marquette, breaking an 18-year-old record that was set by Renata Dargan in December 2004. Anderson racked up 1,107 assists during her inaugural year, ranking fourth in the Big Ten as she helped lead Purdue to a 23-9 (15-5 Big Ten) record and a third-place team finish in the Big Ten standings.
Anderson is the fourth Boilermaker to be tapped in 2024 by USA Volleyball. Eva Hudson attended the U.S. Women's National Team Spring Training Camp in March and Lourdes Myers the U.S. Women's National Team Open Program in February in addition to assistant coach Michael Bouril joining the Women's Collegiate National Team as performance analyst this summer.
