Clark, three UCI alums in the mix
UC Irvine junior opposite Carson Clark and three former Anteater All-Americans have been named to U.S. men's national volleyball's preliminary 25-man roster for the 2011 FIVB World League.
Clark, who leads the Anteaters and is ranked fourth in the country in kills (4.63 per set), joins setter Brian Thornton, outside hitter Jayson Jablonsky and middle blocker David Smith representing the Anteaters on the roster. Thornton, Jablonsky and Smith, were each first-team All-Americans during their UCI careers and led the Anteaters to the program's first NCAA title in 2007.
The 25-man roster will be trimmed to 20 (including two liberos) by May 4. The team must submit a roster of 12 to 14 players taken from that 20-man pool prior to each World League weekend.
The FIVB World League is an elite men's volleyball competition in which the world's 16 best teams are divided into four pools and play an Intercontinental Round for six straight weekends from May 27 to July 3. Each team plays every other team in the pool for two matches at home and two matches away.
