Sorry, low resolution and small screen means I can't tell them apart other than by hair color and do, relative height, and presence/absence of armbands & other accessories. Yes, Snyder with the termination to win. Hate to say I said so, but USA MVP is Anae for tourney and match. Great overall team win. All contributed during the tourney. Soooooo disappointed they aren't in the u-20 Worlds. Just beat ranked 5th team. USA! This is a really strong age group for USA. They would have had a great shot at the WCH. Anae brings the heat and just competes so hard. I was really impressed with her last year at Utah and it looks like it wasn't a fluke.

Nice win! The Italian coach lost his mind...wouldn't shake hands with USA or refs....Italian assistant coaches restraining him I thank him for the laughs...what a psycho. So he's Italy's John Cook or are all Italian coaches this animated?

I was just watching most of the games in this tournament. I cannot believe Anae did not get the MVP. They really have no clue!!!

I was just watching most of the games in this tournament. I cannot believe Anae did not get the MVP. They really have no clue!!! One player from Italy and Orie Agbaji from Team USA. Orie had a fantastic tournament and it is amazing to think that she has her Senior year in High School before helping the Longhorns at UT starting in the fall of 2016. And as well as Orie played as well as several other Team USA athletes, to me, the biggest difference maker was Adora Anae from Utah. She had a phenomenal tournament in every way, shape and form. On the outside, she was the most terminal of the US players. Her serve receive was fantastic, floor defense was great, and she was deadly from the service line. Major impact player and so much fun to watch.

Major impact player and so much fun to watch. I agree. Adora was the most consistent player for USA and I was quite shocked that she did not get it. Although Orie was great, Adora was overall more of a game changer to me and she didn't make as many errors

Orie had a great tournament. So much so that she had Ms. Alhassan sitting on the sidelines for several stretches. She was outstanding, though her connection with Poulter and Tashima on the slide could have been better, it's hard to argue when they practiced so little together prior to this event.
By all accounts she is a great teammate, super talented and a great competitor. Congrats to years of enjoying her further development in burnt orange.

better setter Tashima or Poulter? Love both but the nod to Poulter. Ridiculous skills.

I would agree, but I'm not surprised both Tashima and her were not too consistent and I think a little has to do with the not so great passing, and just the new tempo. I watched Poulter in club and she had much better connection. I think Obaji was a little late on the slide most of the time as well.
