National Team 2015
Sander was a member of the U.S. team that competed in the 2015 NORCECA Champions Cup in Detroit, Michigan, USA, May 21–23, 2015. When the team played against Mexico on May 21, 2015, Sander had 7 points on 6 spikes and 1 block. The U.S. team defeated Mexico 25-15, 25-12, 25-17.
The following day Team USA defeated Cuba in four sets, 20-25, 25-17, 25-10, 25-14. This guaranteed them a top-two finish and a spot in the 2015 FIVB World Cup to be held September 8–23, 2015 in Japan.
Sander totalled 15 points on 10 spikes, 3 blocks, and 2 aces. In the championship match, May 23, 2015, the U.S. lost to Canada in five sets, 22-25, 25-19, 25-21, 21-25, 15-17. He again totalled 15 points, this time on 12 spikes and 3 aces.
He is on the U.S. Preliminary Roster for the 2015 FIVB World League. He played in the first World League match against Iran, May 30, 2015, in Los Angeles. He led all scorers with 19 points on 16 kills, two blocks, and one ace.
During the U.S. broadcast of this match on the NBC Sports Network on May 31, 2015, Sander appeared to injure his ankle late in the 3rd set after colliding with a teammate on a block attempt and landing awkwardly. Thomas Jaeschke came in soon afterward and finished out the set, but Sander returned to play all of the 4th set.
Injury
He did not play in the second match against Iran and was not on the roster for the next two matches against Russia. He also was not on the roster for the matches against Poland June 12 and 13, 2015, in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, due to an ankle injury, but did travel and practice with the team. Coach John Speraw mentioned during the press conference following the 2nd match against Poland that he was not sure when Sander would be ready to play again.
Sander travelled with the team to Iran and was back on the roster for the June 19 and 21 matches played/to be played in Tehran, Iran at the Azadi Stadium. He played the entire 3rd set of the 0-3 (19-25, 27-29, 20-25) loss to Iran June 19, 2015. He scored 5 points on 5 kills from 9 attempts. Sander also had 1 dig and 4 excellent receptions out of 5 attempts.
He has a stress fracture in his lower shin, not an ankle injury as first thought. This was reported by Blair Lambert June 19, 2015, on his volleyball blog From The Pins after speaking with a family member earlier in the week.
Taylor Sander Injury
This is a huge blow for Verona. Not just that the blue and yellows have lost Game 1 of the Serie A1 Quarter-Finals against Perugia, but they have also stayed without one of the best players.
Taylor Sander got injured in the tie-break and he could not continue the match! After attempting to make a block, American player landed right on the foot of his teammate Aidan Zingel and suffered an ankle injury. He needed help to leave the court.
Taylor Sander Micah Christenson
Christenson, Holt Return to the U.S. for VNL in Russia
Olympic medalists Max Holt and Micah Christenson join the U.S. Men’s National Team for its second weekend of FIVB Volleyball Nations League play on June 7-9 in Ufa, Russia. The U.S. Men will play Italy (2-1) on Friday (4 a.m. PT), Russia (2-1) on Saturday (7 a.m. PT) and Portugal (1-2) on Sunday (4 a.m. ). All matches will be shown live on FloVolleyball.tv, a subscription service.
The U.S. Men will host the VNL Finals on July 10-14 in Chicago. That means they qualify automatically for the Finals and they can be a little creative with the roster during the preliminary rounds.
“I think this first tournament is always really exciting,” Holt said. “Hosting the finals is huge for us. We have the luxury of mixing some guys in and out, which we’ve never really had.”
Christenson is also looking forward to playing with the U.S. Men in Ufa. “We’ve got a lot of new faces to the international scene,” Christenson said.
“It’s going to be fun allowing the opportunity for some other guys to get some playing time along with our regular group.” Also making their 2019 VNL debuts in Russia are opposite Ben Patch and libero Kyle Dagostino, who is also making his U.S. Men’s National Team debut.
After losses to Brazil and Poland in Week 1, the U.S. Men ended with a 3-1 victory over Australia. Head Coach John Speraw was pleased with the way his team battled. “The weekend was obviously great,” Speraw said following the Australia match. “We put a number of new players on the court. We competed really well (against Poland). A couple of points here and there and it could have been a different result.”
Outside hitter T.J. DeFalco, who did not play against Australia, is leading the U.S. in scoring after the first three matches and is 19th among all VNL players with 33 points on 28 kills, one block, and four aces. Outside hitter Taylor Sander, who did not play against Poland, follows him with 30 points on 27 kills, two blocks, and one ace.
