The Penn State women’s volleyball team was the first collegiate athletic team from the United States ever invited to play in Cuba. The Lions faced Cuba’s Junior National Team and a team of former National Team players.

“I thought the best learning experience about the trip was that the players had the opportunity to see a communist country and how it functions.” -Head coach Russ Rose on the squad’s trip to Cuba in the Spring of 2000.

Penn State President Graham Spanier enjoys the trip with former Nittany Lions Mishka Levy, Erin Iceman, Robyn Guokas and Amanda Rome.

The Nittany Lions take a break to spend time with Cuban schoolchildren and learn some of their culture.
