TORONTO, Ontario – Sophomore libero Ramsey Gary was an anchor for the U.S. U-21 National Team this week, playing prolific defense enroute to a gold medal at the NORCECA Women's U21 Continental Championship. The Americans went a perfect 5-0 without dropping a set the whole week.
Gary tallied 14 digs in the gold medal match, a 3-0 (25-12, 25-16, 25-16) win over Puerto Rico. It capped off a week that saw her feature in an international match for the first time in her career and record 62 digs (4.13 per set) across five efficient contests for the United States.
For her efforts, she was named the NORCECA U21 Best Receiver of the Tournament, handed out to the best passing libero at the event. Gary was one of two Americans to earn an All-Tournament award and of two liberos to earn an honor at the championships.
Along the way, the United States earned its bid to the 2025 FIVB Women's U21 World Championship as a result of advancing into the top four places at the NORCECA Championship. Puerto Rico, Canada and the Dominican Republic also earned bids.
Gary will now return to Bloomington in preparation for the 2024 NCAA Volleyball season. She is also set to represent the Hoosiers at Big Ten Volleyball Media Days in Chicago this coming August. The Pendleton, Ind. native is one of five returning starters for IU this season.
