The two teams clashed in three rounds, with each ending in the U.S.’s favor. The team has maintained its standard of volleyball excellence since the tournament began on September 19. On the opening day itself, the U.S. team trounced the formidable opponents from the Dominican Republic. The following day, they faced Mexico and recaptured glory in stupendous fashion. Even after two days of the match, the American team’s performance against the Mexican team is still a topic of discussion.

Ewert said, “We had a couple spurts where our serves struggled, but we stayed aggressive and forced them out of system a lot. When they’re out of system, we’ve got a good block and defense team, and we are able to get a lot of break points and pull away”. This is one of the strategies the team devised during one of their tough practice sessions. Their next match is against Canada, and volleyball fans are already anticipating a killer move from the team.
