CHINA,ITALY NEDHERLANDS,END SERBIA CONFIRMED SEMIFINALIST AT WOLRD CHAMPIONSHIP
NLausanne, Switzerland, October 15, 2018 - The Netherlands, China, Italy and Serbia have booked all four berths in the semifinals of the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship after Monday play in Round 3 of the competition at Nagoya, as the defending champions USA and hosts Japan both crashed out of the medals round. It took two five-set thrillers and a couple of tournament-high scoring performances to seal the deals. |
The Dutch started it all off in Nagoya as Lonneke Sloetjes scored a tournament-high 38 points for an incredible comeback from two sets down to beat USA in five, qualify for the semifinals and send the defending champions crashing out of the tournament - sweet revenge for the Netherlands for their defeat to the Americans in the bronze medal match of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
The result also sees reigning Olympic champions China make it through to the semifinals without even having to play again.
It is the first time since 2006 that USA are out of contention for a medal at a World Championship, after finishing fourth in 2010 and striking gold in 2014.
The Netherlands celebrate a huge comeback win over USA, Monday evening in Nagoya, to make the semifinals of the 2018 FIVB World Championship.

It was great fun for me to watch Shawn Olmstead and his underdog Brigham Young team churn its way through the NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Championship tournament in December 2014 and face Penn State in the finals. It reminded me of all the hard work that I put in as a teenager when I played for Shawn’s father, Rick, on the volleyball team at Santa Barbara High School.
