­Two members of the Bowling Green State University volleyball program will be representing their respective countries in summer competition.

Lauryn Hovey will play for Canada’s U-21 team at the Pan American Cup, while Petra Indrova will play for Czech Republic in the European Golden League. Hovey is an incoming freshman for the Falcons and previously represented Canada at the 2021 FIVB Girls’ U18 World Championship. Indrova will enter her senior season after a junior campaign that included AVCA All-American and MAC Player of the Year honors.

Ten teams will compete at the U-21 Women’s Pan American Cup, which is held in Mexico from June 7-12. Hovey will represent Canada, who will compete in Pool C with Argentina, Costa Rica, and the United States. Pools A and B include three teams each. The top two Pool winners will advance to the Semifinals while the Pool winner with the third-best record will join the three Second-Place finishers in the Quarterfinals.

The European Golden League is a competition for national teams of European Volleyball Confederation member federations, which takes place every year. Eligibility to participate is based on the CEV National Team ranking list or winning the previous season’s European Silver League. 12 teams participate, with the league featuring three pools of four teams. Indrova is representing Czech Republic for the second consecutive year, returning after helping them to a fourth-place finish in 2021.

“We are thrilled and proud that Petra and Lauryn are representing their countries and playing at major international competitions this summer,” said BGSU head coach Danijela Tomic. “It is a fantastic opportunity for them to grow as players and prepare for our upcoming season. Playing for a national team is a huge honor for any athlete. It is also an honor for us to have two Falcons representing our university and volleyball program at the highest level. We wish Petra and Lauryn and their teams lots of success and cannot wait to see them back in Stroh.”
