TOKYO: The United States defeated Italy in a see-saw five-set battle at the Ariake Arena on Monday to finish on top in Pool B of the women's volleyball preliminaries, overcoming the absence of injured ace spiker Jordan Thompson and another injury.
"We had great trust in each other and we executed a very good game plan," he said, adding that Thompson was recovering and there was some hope she might come back during the tournament."Of course, our ultimate goal is to get gold," the 27-year-old said."We have never done that before and we are working really hard and diligently to do that."
