DAY 06 SUMMARY

 

United States 3-0  Belgium

 

 

Toyota, Japan, May 24, 2018 - Michelle Bartsch-Hackley provided a real masterclass in power and precision as the United States overwhelmed Belgium 3-0 (25-11, 25-18, 25-17) with an awe-inspiring team performance in the inaugural women's FIVB Volleyball Nations League on Thursday.

 

With Kimberly Hill sitting out the match, Bartsch-Hackley moved to the top of the American team's point-scoring list for the tournament, adding a game-high 14 points against the Belgians to lift her series total to 71.

 

Andrea Drews was also in great form, racking up 10 kills in her 12 points, while the American captain Jordan Larson, who top scored in Wednesday's 3-0 romp over the Netherlands, chipped in with 11 as the US completed their third straight sweep in Toyota.

 

With an average age of just 21, the Belgians lacked the experience of their older American counterparts, but lost no supporters with their brave showing as they continue to build.

 

Celine Van Gestel was the standout player, making 10 kills from 25 attempts, while Kaja Grobelna, Nathalie Lemmens and rising teenage star Britt Herbots each had four points.

 

Belgium finished Pool 5 with three losses against the Netherlands, Japan and USA to drop to 2-4 overall after the first two weeks of the new competition, while the USA remained at the top of the standings with their fifth win from six games.

 

Brimming with confidence, the reigning world champions were in a class of their own against the Belgians, dominating at both the front and back of the court, and setting a standard of excellence for the other teams in the competition.

 

Bartsch-Hackley was a constant threat at outside hitter, regularly penetrating the Belgian defence through a combination of power and accuracy, while Drews, at opposite spiker, was a dominant figure at the net, picking up two winning blocks in addition to her 10 scoring hits.

 

The US sealed the first set after a spike from Larson was deflected out of court then clinched the second when middle blocker Rachael Adams (8 points) leapt high to safely foil another Belgian attack.

 

Lauren Gibbemeyer, who also finished with eight points in a strong performance, secured the straight sets victory by scoring the last two points, the first a ferocious spike down the line, then the second a gentler push into an unguarded area.

 

The USA team heads to Bangkok next week to join Thailand, Dominican Republic and Germany in Pool 11 while the Belgians will travel to Europe to play against Pool 10 hosts Serbia as well as Russia and Turkey.

 

 RUSSIA 3-1  GERMANY

 

 

Suwon, South Korea, May 24, 2018 - Irina Voronkova produced a powerful all-round performance to lead Russia to a hard-fought 3-1 (19-25, 25-21, 25-15, 25-23) comeback victory over a gallant Germany in the FIVB Volleyball Nations League on Thursday. 

 

The wing spiker produced heavy-hitting all match, especially during the crucial third set, as she finished with 20 points - including four blocks - to guide Russia to their fourth victory at the completion of the second phase.  

 

Voronkova was well supported by captain Kseniia Parubets (16 points) and Irina Fetisova (4 blocks) defended superbly. 

 

Louisa Lippmann was heroic for Germany with 26 points to lead her team in scoring for the fifth time in the VNL but captain Maren Fromm was well held with just 9 points. 

 

The Pool 6 result continues Russia's thorough dominance of Germany over the years as they have now won 29 of 31 matches, including eight straight since 2004. After a momentous upset of Brazil to open the VNL, Germany were winless in Suwon and have lost five straight to be near the foot of the overall rankings.

 

Russia made an ideal start at the Suwon Indoor Gymnasium with Parubets in the thick of the action but countered by Lippmann, whose aerial prowess was evident with an early thunderous spike to energise her team.

 

Marie Scholzel was making her mark with a couple of precise spikes as the teams traded powerful blows during several long rallies in an absorbing opening set. 

 

It was an intriguing game of cat and mouse with Germany the clear aggressors unleashing an array of powerful blows - particularly the explosive Lena Stigrot - but they were often stifled by the resilient Russians, who collectively demonstrated hardnosed defence. 

 

With both teams desperate to get back to their winning ways, the standard was high with Scholzel shining brightest through deadly serving and high-flying spikes.

 

Perhaps the highpoint came when Voronkova produced a terrific retrieval, where she ended up sprawled near Germany's bench, and subsequently thundered a spike to level the scores at 16 apiece to give her team the momentum.

 

Challenged by their tenacious opponents, Lippmann lifted her output with several spectacular spikes as Germany edged ahead and eventually claimed the first set in 23 minutes.  

 

With their backs against the wall, Tatiana Romanova produced an ace to give Russia the perfect start to the second set and they skipped out to an early lead as they increased their aggression after being overwhelmed in the opening stanza. Russia started dictating the rallies and their brute strength was coming to the fore, most notably when Voronkova hammered a spike at a speed of over 100 kph. 

 

After finding themselves quickly in a hole, Germany attempted to claw back into the contest - best exemplified by the relentless hustle from Lippmann - but the defensive abilities of Voronkova and Fetisova ensured Russia maintained their handy buffer. In a terrific response to Germany's early jab, Russia levelled the match after needing five set points to claim a tight second stanza.

 

Carrying on the momentum, Russia started the third set strong with Parubets showcasing her offensive skills complemented by stout defence at the net from Ekaterina Efimova, who emphatically blocked Lippmann to give Russia an early buffer in the crucial stanza. 

 

Mirroring the second set, Russia had all the answers despite the best efforts of Lippmann, who continued to produce spikes for the highlight reel. With Voronkova seemingly everywhere, Russia cruised through the third set in just 24 minutes as they tightened their grip on the contest. 

 

On the brink of another loss, Germany made a better start in the fourth set with Lippmann - registering speeds of over 97kph with her spikes - doing her best to keep her team in the match. It was a see-sawing battle as Germany tried desperately hard to extend the match as Lippmann and Voronkova traded heavy hits during one spectacular stretch. 

 

Voronkova produced a sizzling ace, her first of the match, to give Russia the edge at 13-11 but Germany would not be denied as they clawed back once more. However, Russia held their nerve and, quite fittingly, Voronkova sealed the result to spark hearty celebrations from the Russians. 

 

Next week, Russia travels to Kraljevo where they play hosts Serbia, Turkey and Belgium, while Germany journeys to Bangkok and takes on hosts Thailand, USA and the Dominican Republic.

 

: Thailand 3-2  Poland 

 

 

Macao, China, May 24, 2018 - Thailand's Chatchu-On Moksri's 26 points helped her side deliver on the potential they had shown all week in registering a 3-2 (25-22, 21-25, 25-23, 21-25, 16-14) win over Poland in second-round action at the 2018 FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League.

It seemed at times the Thais just couldn't find the points - or the luck - to roll Poland over but with wing spiker Chatchu-On's confidence growing, and with support from Ajcharaporn Kongyot (16 points), they seized control of the tie-breaker and just wouldn't let go. 

When a Chatchu-On kill sealed the deal, the Thais' leapt into each others' arms and danced without a care in the world.

The loss would have hurt for Poland's superstar Malwina Smarzek, who again led all concerned on court with 38 points. The spiker has been in sensational form in Macao, and a fourth set-winner that threatened to bounce out of the stadium was just one of any number of personal highlights in an effort that included four blocks.

But the young Thai squad's efforts in Macao this week have won over the crowd and coach Danai Sriwacharamaytakul had them looking at all times to stretch the Polish blockers - and avoid Smarzek. That meant the ball was flying everywhere.

The Poles were worried by that movement in the first set and by the fourth had seemingly no real idea how to cope other then look to Smarzek - and hope.

The Thais meanwhile kept moving and when Sriwacharamaytakul took a time out at 11-9 in the last set he called for calm, and his players stuttered but eventually they delivered.

The loss marked Poland's first 0-2 run in world level major tournament matches since they lost five in a row at the 2014 FIVB Volleyball World Grand Prix. They'll be now hoping to stop the rot. Quickly.

But Thursday night was all about this young Thai squad, whose only two previous victories over Poland had come at the 2008 and 2009 World Grand Prix - both times over five sets. It was also the first time in history they had ever taken a first set of the Poles.

The Thais moved to 2-4 after two rounds with their second victory in the VNL overall while Poland are on the same mark.

 

: Italy 3-0  South Korea

 

 

Suwon, South Korea, May 24, 2018 - Spectacular performances from Serena Ortolani and Miryam Fatime Sylla led a rejuvenated Italy to an upset victory over Korea in the FIVB Volleyball Nations League on Thursday. 

 

The dynamic duo scored 16 points apiece as Italy won their second straight match in the 3-0 (25-17, 25-21, 25-21) triumph over Korea, who lost for the first time in nine matches at the Suwon Indoor Gymnasium. 

 

It was a complete team effort for the revived Italy, who also received tireless contributions from Lucia Bosetti (14 points) and Marina Lubian (9 points).

 

Korea were led by captain Kim Yeon Koung (17 points) but her output was somewhat limited after she had poured in 50 points during the past two matches. The hosts had a number of players struggle to make an impact, including Jeongah Park who scored just 6 points.

 

Italy defeated Korea for just the third time from 12 matches at the world level although the teams had not faced each other since the 2012 Olympics. 

 

It was a disappointing end to the second phase homestand for Korea, who now sport a 4-2 overall record, while Italy are rolling after recovering from a dire 0-4 start in the VNL.  

 

A confident Italy overpowered their opponents all match and failed to wilt under the immense pressure, while Korea were wayward and appeared out of sync.  

 

Continuing their renewed form, an energetic Italy quickly quietened the loud crowd with the first four points of the match. The visitors were playing with vigour and rattling an error-strewn Korea, who found themselves in an early five-point hole.

 

Ortolani and Lubian were lively and continually attacking Korea, who were unable to handle the barrage. Italy were also showcasing stout defence, led by the acrobatic Sylla, who was fresh off her breakout performance against Germany on Wednesday. Shrugging off a shaky start, Kim engineered a comeback with an intoxicating mixture of power and deft touch as Korea suddenly regained the lead after rattling off six straight points from Kim Su Ji's lethal serve. 

 

Undaunted, Italy matched their fancied opponents testament to winning a pulsating 24-second rally punctuated by a booming spike from Sylla, who was once again proving her worth as a starter. Korea had trouble finding their groove and were unable to penetrate Italy's formidable defence led by the tenacious efforts of captain Ofelia Malinov. 

 

Italy were doing well in all areas, including two successful reviews, as they emphatically claimed the first set through a put away down the line from an inspired Ortolani.  

 

Italy's momentum continued from the get go in the second set with Sylla producing an imposing spike as the underdogs soon edged ahead to a three-point lead much to the dismay of the local faithful. Wing spiker Bosetti was thwarting Korea with a fusion of power and deftness as Italy sniffed an invaluable two-set lead. 

 

The match reached new heights during a memorable rally mid-set when Sylla showed off her athleticism with a lunging retrieval as she clattered into the advertising boards on the sidelines. The scores see-sawed with a precise one-legged spike from Su Ji Kim reducing the margin to 20-19 as the second set reached a crescendo. 

 

Once again silencing the crowd, the commanding Sylla was proving to be the difference maker and she led Italy to a two-set advantage much to the disbelief of those in attendance. 

 

Attempting to extricate from a major hole, Korea lifted with the first three points of the stanza as an imperious kill from Heejin Kim brought specactors to their feet. However, undaunted by the electric atmosphere, Italy kept hustling marked by winning a tense 22-second rally to even the scores at 12 apiece. 

 

Ortolani and Sylla stepped up when it mattered most as the dynamic duo produced timely spikes as Italy edged ahead in a determined bid to end the contest in straight sets. Italy eventually claimed victory in a slight anti-climax through a review but the confirmation triggered wild celebrations from them, while local fans were visibly stunned. 

 

Next week, Italy travel to Hong Kong for phase three action and will play Japan, Argentina and China, while Korea journey to Apeldoorn and face hosts the Netherlands, Brazil and Poland. 

 

Netherlands 3-0  Japan

 

 

Toyota, Japan, May 24, 2018 - Lonneke Sloetjes executed another outstanding performance to engineer a comfortable 3-0 (25-18, 25-18, 25-21) win for the Netherlands over the Pool 5 hosts Japan at the first-ever women's FIVB Volleyball Nations League on Thursday.

 

The Dutch, whose four-game winning streak was shattered when they were beaten 3-0 by the United States on Wednesday, rebounded from that disappointment with an impeccable display against the highly-rated Japanese team.

 

Sloetjes, who played the starring role in the Netherlands' heart-stopping five-set win over Belgium on Tuesday, was once again the architect of her team's victory, hitting 13 winning spikes in her 14-point haul.

 

Middle blocker Yvon Belien finished with 13 points, from 10 spikes and three blocks, while the ever-reliable Anne Buijs chalked up 12 points to take her total for the tournament to 80, the most by a Dutch player.

 

Risa Shinnabe, who was Japan's leading scorer in Wednesday's win over Belgium, once again led the way for her team, finishing with 10 points, level with teenager Ai Kurogo, the youngest member of the host-nation's squad.

 

With an average 10 centimetre height advantage over their opponents, the Netherlands got maximum benefit from their taller players, with 1.91 metre high Sloetjes leading the attack and the 1.98 metre tall Nicole Koolhaas marshalling the defence.

 

Koolhaas (9 points) finished with four blocks and teamed up with Britt Bongaerts (6 points, 4 blocks) for a double that sealed the first set after the Netherlands came out flying, racing to a 9-3 lead as Buijs and the other heavy hitters quickly found their range.

 

The second set was tighter but the Netherlands pulled away after the second technical time-out after a desperate diving save from captain Maret Balkestein-Grothues (6 points) kept the ball alive and Belien finished off the set-clinching point with a superb block.

 

The Japanese captain Nana Iwasaka tried to rally her players in the third set, picking up five points in a fine display, while Yuki Ishii managed seven after being recalled to the court, but the Dutch kept their cool right at the end to secure the win.

 

The Netherlands return home next week to host Brazil, Poland and South Korea in Pool 9 while Japan travel to Hong Kong for Pool 12 games with China, Argentina and Italy.

 

 Brazil 3-0  Dominican Republic

 

 

Ankara, Turkey, May 24, 2018 - Adenizia Da Silva and Amanda Francisco produced majestic performances to inspire Brazil to a fifth successive women's FIVB Volleyball Nations League win after they crushed the Dominican Republic in straight sets 3-0 (25-20, 25-10, 25-13) in Ankara.

 

Brazil, who recalled top scorer Tandara Caixeta after she was rested against Argentina on Wednesday, mixed potent, fluid attacking with added steel in defence, typified by the outstanding blocking display of Adenizia, as they had far too much class for the Caribbean nation, who were outplayed in every department as they slumped to a sixth defeat in six Volleyball Nations League matches. Brazil's victory means they move to within one point of pacesetters USA, and this display will serve as a warning to the rest of the tournament's frontrunners.

 

Amanda top-scored for Brazil with 14 points as she added accurate serving to her finishing ability, but there's far more to the South Americans than all-out attack. Their rigid defence and superb blocking - led by the impenetrable Adenizia - frustrated the Dominican Republic time and time again. Ana Beatriz and skipper Roberta Silva also produced performances full of craft and ingenuity as Brazil oozed class throughout.

 

Brayelin Martinez was the Dominican Republic's top scorer for their fifth Volleyball Nations League match out of six in the inaugural competition; she chalked up nine points but was snuffed out on numerous occasions by Brazil's blockers, and could only land seven of her 25 attempted spikes. Yonkaira Pena Isabel (6 points) and Annerys Valdez (5 points) were their other top scorers, but the Caribbeans were erratic and error-strewn, with their serving letting them down again.

 

Brazil were sluggish in the opening set and found themselves 3-0 down with Martinez and Pena Isabel both registering early spikes. But Jose Roberto Guimaraes' women soon found their rhythm and a couple of brilliant blocks - first through Beatriz and then Amanda - had the South American champions 8-6 in front at the first technical time out. The Queens of the Caribbean looked dangerous, but their achilles heel - poor serving and wayward spikes - returned again with Pena Isabel guilty of a bad miss to put Brazil 11-10 in front. And the favourites stepped up a few gears to move into a six-point lead at 22-16 before Tandara, who had a fairly quiet game, closed out the set (25-20) with Brazil comfortable without really impressing.

 

But the 2017 FIVB Volleyball World Grand Prix winners were far more enterprising in the second set and blew their opponents away with some wonderful volleyball. Tandara was far more influential than in the opening set and her spike made it 7-5 to Brazil, but Adenizia's outstanding blocking was the theme of the set with Marcos Kwiek's side unable to find a way through her and her partner in crime Beatriz. Brazil were 10 points clear at the second technical time out and they piled on more misery by blitzing clear to win the set 25-10 and move two sets clear with only 57 minutes on the clock. Brazil earned five block points in the second set alone as they thoroughly outclassed their opponents.

 

Dominican Republic had never beaten Brazil before in their previous 18 meetings - with their five-set loss in the 2008 World Grand Prix the closest they have come, and they never looked like erasing that record in this match. Martinez's brilliant block put Kwiek's side to within two points at 5-3 behind, but the top scorer inexplicably launched her resulting serve into the net to immediately hand the initiative back to the South Americans. Brazil were on a roll, and aided by the immaculate serving of Amanda, they scored 9 straight points to move into a 15-6 lead with Dominican Republic making errors by the bucketload. The third set was a procession and some more incredible blocking - this time by replacement Carol - kept the scoreboard ticking as Brazil strolled over the line (25-13). The South Americans won 14 block points alone - seven coming from Adenizia - whilst they produced arguably the best serving display so far in the Volleyball Nations League. Their three-game tour of Ankara ends in three convincing wins, and they head to the Netherlands in buoyant mood for week 3 matches against the Dutch, South Korea and Poland.

 

 Serbia 3-1 : China 

 

 

Macao, China, May 24, 2018 - Tijana Boskovic's 32 points - including five big blocks - ensured Serbia made it a clean sweep of the second round of the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Nations League with a 3-1 (21-15, 25-23, 25-21, 25-17) victory over arch-rivals China on Thursday night. 

The star opposite spiker was rested and ready for the big occasion and the Chinese couldn't cope once the 21-year-old found her groove after some rusty play in the first stanza.

In fact all the Serbs grew into the match the longer it played out, with Brankica Mihajlovic (15 points) also playing a big part in the victory. There were plenty of errors but also plenty for coach Zoran Terzic to work with going forward.

China have been a bit of a hit-and-miss affair in the VNL so far, as coach Lang Ping has tinkered with their youthful squad, but they looked good in the first set here, and were led then and all night by an impressive Gong Xiangyu (12 points).

There is a rich sense of anticipation whenever these two rivals meet, fuelled by the fact they fought out the final at the Rio Olympics in 2016. The Chinese walked away with the gold thanks to a 3-1 victory. Since then, though, it's been all Serbia with two wins at world level - at last year's FIVB Volleyball World Grand Prix (3-1 and 3-1).

Arriving in Macao, the teams were tied 7-7 overall and such was Terzic's desire to take this renewal that he rested Boskovic in the match the night before against Poland, which the Serbs won 3-1.

China's young gun - 18-year-old spiker Li Yingying - was also left out of the previous night's activities (a 3-1 win over Thailand) and coach Lang Ping held her back again on Thursday, most likely with one eye on the finals, which China have already qualified for as host nation. Li, whose service reception remains a work in progress, came on when the score was at 6-1 to the Serbs in the fourth set.

What made the Serbians' victory all the more encouraging - in terms of the tournament in general - was it came despite the troubles Mihajlovic continued to have at times with her serve. The first four on Thursday night were all misses and saw the 27-year-old looking to the heavens for help. It came by the time the fourth set had arrived and the Serbs were well on their way to victory.

So the Serbs head to the next round with a record of 5-1 - the only loss so far coming last week against Brazil (3-1) - and with a team that is doing plenty of damage without being in top form. Somehow.

The Chinese are meanwhile at 3-3 and still struggling to find consistency - but there is plenty of time to find that still ahead. With games to come in Hong Kong - and the finals set for Ningbo - a worrying trend for coach Lang, however, is the fact that now each of her team's past nine losses in world level major tournament matches have come in China.

 

Turkey 3-0  Argentina

 

 

Ankara, Turkey, May 24, 2018 - Meryem Boz's virtuoso display helped hosts Turkey seal a straight-sets win (25-16, 25-16, 25-19) over a struggling Argentina side, who remain without a victory and a point in the FIVB women's Nations League.  

 

Turkey fully merited their Pool 8 victory after another tenacious defensive display, which was sprinkled with some efficient attacking, and it was a combination that proved too much for an Argentina side who have now lost their opening 6 Nations League matches - matching their poor start at last year's Grand Prix. Turkey, meanwhile, kept themselves well in the hunt near the summit and will take some beating on this form after a 5th win in 6 games.  

 

Meryem Boz was Turkey's top points scorer with 15 points, but she was wonderfully assisted by Meliha Ismailoglu, whose creative play and razor sharp reactions caught the eye on top of her 12-point contribution. Captain Erdem Dundar (10 points), setter Gamze Alikaya (9 points - 5 of which were aces) and libero Hatice Orge Guner also produced typically classy performances. 

 

As for Argentina, Elina Rodriguez top-scored once more with 12 points and gave her all at the net, but the South Americans' other notorious points scorer Anahi Tosi was off her game for large parts despite finishing as her side's second top scorer with 10 points. 

 

Roared on by the Baskent Volleyball Hall crowd, Turkey started like a train and surged into a 3-0 lead thanks to 2 thumping spikes from Meryem Boz, and after a mini Argentine comeback, Giovanni Guidetti's girls scored 8 straight points to lead 14-5 and put the first set out of reach of an Argentina side who were extremely low on confidence. Argentina showed tremendous heart and fought back from an 8-point deficit at the second technical time out to close to within 4 at 19-15 behind, but Turkey composed themselves and went on another scoring burst with Ismailoglu's ace - her 6th point of the set - rounding out the set 25-16. 

 

Into set 2 and Turkey, who are a side renowned for their team ethic rather than any individual scoring prowess, kept up their sustained pressure, with Alikaya and the imperious Ismailoglu pulling the strings. Ismailoglu scored a couple of spikes to edge Turkey into a 3-2 lead and that advantage was stretched to 3 points by the first technical time out after a woeful Anahi Tosi serve. To sum up Argentina's luck, Erdem's block rebounded off the unfortunate libero Tatiana Rizzo before another Erdem spike gave Turkey a handsome 16-9 lead at the second stoppage. Argentina's service reception was poor, and the hosts were able to cruise home 25-16 to take a 2-set lead with only 56 minutes on the clock. 

 

Turkey's blocking prowess - similar to that of Brazil in their win over Dominican Republic - was top notch and they continued where they left off in the 3rd set. Replacement Beyza Arici's wonderful block got them off the mark, but the visitors threw caution to the wind in an effort to rescue the match and some fluid attacking handed them a 10-6 lead. Turkey though roared back with 3 straight points before an Alikaya ace - her 3rd of the match - hauled them level at 11-11. A wonderfully placed Boz spike gave the hosts a 2-point cushion, and thanks to some brilliant Alikaya serving, Turkey closed out the set 25-19 to record back-to-back home wins and a 4th victory in as many world-level encounters against Argentina. The hosts notched 15 block points - 1 more than Brazil managed earlier - in another defensive masterclass.

 

Turkey head to Serbia next week where they'll also play Belgium and Russia in a tough looking Pool 10, while Argentina face Japan, China and Italy in Hong Kong.
