JAPAN vs USA | Highlights | Women's VNL 2024. USA shut out Japan to secure last spot at VNL Finals. The Preliminary Phase is over and the quarterfinal match-ups set!

USA took the much needed victory in their last match of the women’s Volleyball Nations League Preliminary Phase to secure the last available spot in next week’s Finals in Thailand and did so in an emphatic manner, defeating hosts Japan in straight sets in Fukuoka on Sunday. In other key matches on the last competition day, Brazil defeated defending champions Türkiye to finish the stage undefeated in 12 games, Italy and China also finished on a high note by beating reigning world champions Serbia and Poland, respectively, to shape up next week’s quarterfinal match-ups as follows: Brazil v Thailand, Italy v USA, Poland v Türkiye, and China v Japan.

China and Japan will open the event in Bangkok on Thursday, June 20, at 17:00 local time (10:00 UTC), followed by hosts Thailand taking on Brazil at 20:30 (13:30). Friday’s second competition day will open with the quarterfinal between Italy and USA at 17:00 (10:00). The last semifinalist will emerge from the clash between Poland and Türkiye at 20:30 (13:30).

In front of an official count of 7,618 fans on the stands in Fukuoka, the United States outplayed Japan on all counts to celebrate a 3-0 (25-15, 25-18, 26-24) victory and finish the Preliminary Phase in seventh place on a 7-5 win-loss record and 22 points, just above the cut-off for the Finals a point clear of the Netherlands, who kept their hopes up after defeating Korea by a convincing 3-0 (25-21, 25-11, 25-17) earlier on Sunday in Fukuoka. Three players shared the top-scorer honours of the match between Japan and USA. American outside hitter Avery Skinner, American opposite Andrea Drews and Japanese outside Mayu Ishikawa finished with 13 points each. Two more US players reached the double digits, a testament to setter Lauren Carlini’s great performance in distributing the attacks. Star outside Jordan Larson produced 12 points, while middle blocker Anna Stevenson Hall added another 11. Japan’s substitute opposite Yukiko Wada also registered 11 points. The Asian team ended up on 8-4 and 25 in fifth place in the Preliminary Phase standings.

세계최강 팀 미국을 일본이 상대하기는 역부족이다. 창과 방패라고 말하지만, 미국은 창 뿐이 아니고 방패도 완벽하게 갖춘 팀이다. 일본의 방패로는 미국을 상대하기 진짜로 힘드는 듯. 역시 세계최강 팀 미국이다.

I hate the video editor of these VNL highlights from every angle. Pretty sure everyone hates the editor. Terrible job. Please consider a different person!
