MALIBU, Calif. – Three-time All-WCC honoree and 2020 WCC Freshman of the Year Meg Brown of the Pepperdine women's volleyball team, has earned a spot on the U.S. Women's Volleyball Collegiate National Team, as Team USA announced this week.
 
The Collegiate Team will train June 18-24 in Anaheim, Calif., alongside the U.S. Women's National Team as it prepares for the final preliminary round of Volleyball Nations League.
 
In addition to Brown, Grace Chillingworth and Emily Hellmuth were tabbed as alternates.  Two others from the West Coast Conference were named to the collegiate national team – both from BYU.  Among the alternates with the pair of Waves, two from San Diego and one-apiece from LMU and BYU were also named alternates.
 
Brown (Santa Ana, Calif.) has been a mainstay on the court for the Waves since donning the blue and orange three seasons ago, earning All-WCC accolades in each of her three seasons including first team nods as a freshman and junior. 
 
This past season, the middle blocker put in a stellar performance for Pepperdine, marking a well-rounded effort after tabbing 2.82 kills/set on a team-best .367 hitting percentage.  She also was good for 0.91 blocks, 0.29 aces and 0.87 digs per set for the squad, leading the team with 385.5 points in total.
 
Hellmuth and Chillingworth, the 2023 and 2022 WCC Freshmen of the Year respectively, led the Waves' attack efforts this season.  Hellmuth amassed a team-high 2.90 kills/set, while Chillingworth led the squad with 0.37 aces/set and totaled 2.89 kills/set.
