Set Win Streak Ends, But USA Keeps Rolling In Win Over Brazil

Set Win Streak Ends, But USA Keeps Rolling

Someone finally beat the U.S. Women’s National Team.

Oh, no, sorry. Not in a match. Don’t be ridiculous. 

Brazil took the second set from the Americans on Wednesday, snapping a record 25-set win streak. No matter, Team USA cruised past the fourth-ranked Brazilians from there to win its ninth straight match, 3-1, and run its record to 10-1 in VNL play.

Four Americans—Lauren Gibbemeyer, Jordan Larson, Foluke Akinradewo and Kim Hill—reached double figures in scoring.

Brazil had won 10 of the last 12 world-level tournament matches against the United States.

The first-place Americans, ranked No. 2 in the world, will end the week with another matchup—this one against top-ranked China at 6:30 AM CT on Thursday, LIVE on FloVolleyball.
