In the summer of 2006, Airial Salvo represented the United States as a member of the US National Volleyball A2 team. At the Open Championships in New Orleans, Salvo led her team to the championship match and capped it off with all-tournament honors. Many Utes also went overseas last summer to compete in the Global Challenge. While sophomore setter Shannon Krug battled South America’s best in Argentina, many of the Utes went to Maribor, Slovenia, and competed against teams from Italy, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and other teams from southwestern Europe.

Airial Salvo was named College MVP, Emillie Toone was named Best Blocker and Sydney Anderson was junior all-tournament at the Global Challenge in Maribor, Slovenia, last summer.
