COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Washington State's Ashley Brown was one of 24 players chosen for the U.S. Women's Collegiate National Volleyball Team - Detroit (CNT-Detroit) elite roster competing this summer, USA Volleyball announced Tuesday.

The CNT-Detroit squad, part of USA Volleyball's High Performance pipeline and considered a second tryout for the U.S. Women's National Team, will train June 22-26, at the University of Michigan. The athletes will then be assigned to one of two 12-member teams that will play three exhibition matches against each other at the Cobo Center June 27, June 28 and June 30. The matches are being held in conjunction with the USA Volleyball Girls' Junior National Championships under the same roof.

Ashley Brown is a 5-9 sophomore setter from Prosper, Texas, who transferred to WSU from the University of Oklahoma in January of 2017. She was an integral part of WSU's 6-2 offense and later in the season took over sole responsibility of the setting duties. Brown was named to Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invite All-Tournament Team. She averaged 5.90 assists per set overall and 5.75 assists per set in Pac-12. Her career-high 57 assists came in WSU's NCAA First Round win over Florida State and was the most in a four-set match during the 2017 Championship Tournament. The 57 assists also tied for the most by a Pac-12 setter in 2017. Brown served four aces in a 3-2 loss to Baylor and that total is second-most in a 5-set match in Pac-12 this year.
 
Brown joins WSU teammates Taylor Mims and Alexis Dirige as members of a Collegiate National Team for 2018. Mims, a rising senior, and Dirige, a rising junior, were selected to the CNT-Europe squad, announced last month. Athletes were selected through the U.S. Women's National Team Open Tryouts held March 2-4 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
