Terese Cannon

Terese Cannon first started playing volleyball in high school. After spending her freshman year playing indoor at Georgetown University, she transferred to the University of Southern California in 2015 and played beach volleyball from 2015-2019 with the Trojans. During her tenure, Terese helped the team win three PAC12 titles and two National Championships. Terese and her partner Nicolette Martin were the lucky two who won the final match in 2017 to win the Championship. She was a 2-time team captain, 3-time PAC12 All-Conference team pick, and a 2019 AVCA All-American. After graduating in 2019 with a Master’s in Accounting, Terese transitioned full-time to a career playing professional beach volleyball on the AVP Tour. In 2022, Terese partnered with Olympian Sarah Sponcil; the new duo won their first AVP title in Hermosa beach that year. 

Terese is a lefty who plays right-handed, a fraternal twin, and a competitive baker (with her sisters). Her favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
