León, Guanajuato – Former Indiana outside hitter Mady Saris helped her Canadian National Team to a silver medal at the U23 Women's NORCECA Pan American Cup in Mexico. Saris, who graduated last spring after a four-year career with the Hoosiers, will head off to Europe to begin her professional career this fall.
After dropping the first two matches of the tournament, Saris and the Canadians rattled off three-straight wins to make the gold medal match. They were defeated by the United States on Friday (Aug. 1) evening in León. Saris was a massive contributor to her side, playing the full six rotations for a majority of the competition.
She contributed 74 points in six matches (3.08 per set) and had at least nine kills in five of the six contests. Saris offered a team-best 16 kills in a five-set defeat to Cuba to begin the tournament and responded with 13 more in a semifinal, reverse-sweep victory over the same Cuban side.
Saris was the top point scorer for Canada in Friday's final against the United States. She recorded nine kills but the Americans earned a convincing sweep behind 10 kills from Kentucky senior outside hitter Eva Hudson.
