7/10/2025 10:00:00 AM | Volleyball
Baylor volleyball alumna Avery Skinner made waves once again with Team USA, this time in the 2025 installment of the Volleyball Nations' League (VNL) week 3 in Arlington, Texas.
Following the 3-1 record in week three of VNL play, the USA will face Italy in the VNL Finals. The Americans qualified with an eighth-place finish at 7-5 overall, and will take on the top-seeded Italians (12-0) in Poland.
Skinner, an outside hitter, finished this leg of the tournament with a whopping 62 points overall.
JULY 9 - VERSUS THAILAND
Skinner entered the lineup for the first time this VNL tournament and had a heck of a showing with a team-high 22 points, 19 kills and 10 digs, also tacking on two blocks and an ace. The native Texan had a .324 hitting efficiency in her 2025 VNL debut, helping the the U.S. Women's National Team defeat Thailand, 3-1 (28-26, 21-25, 27-25, 25-15).
"Thailand is an amazing team. We knew the rallies were going to be long, so for us, it was about being patient, not trying to score necessarily on the first ball but when we got our chance, then going for it," Skinner commented. "It was special. I have been so excited waiting for this match. I'm glad we could come out and get a win. It's really fun being back with this group. Coming to Arlington is so fun because we get to play in front of our crowd. We are grateful for all the fans who have come out to support us."
