U.S. to Meet Canada in Volleyball at SDSU
- Share via
SAN DIEGO — In a tuneup for the Pan American Games in Indianapolis, the United States men’s volleyball team will face the Canadian national team tonight at 7:30 in San Diego State’s Peterson Gym. The match will be the only local appearance of the year for the U.S. team, which trains in San Diego.
The United States finished second to host Cuba at the North American, Central American and Caribbean zone championships in June. Canada was third, losing to the United States, 3-1. The Canadian team finished fourth at the 1984 Olympics but has yet to earn one of the 12 berths for the 1988 Olympics.
Karch Kiraly, the U.S. team captain, will miss tonight’s match because of a broken left hand suffered during practice two weeks ago.
