Yikes. They had started well too. Hopefully Phil can get something going in set 2. Nick was siding out well for the most part.

Phil hasn’t gotten a block yet since they started showing the match at them up 4-2. Dutch continues to hit hard into the block but Phil is unable to score off his block. Dutch up 16-15. Dutch serves another hard one to USA and although they were able to pass the ball, Phil hits into the net while trying to soft tap it over the net. Timeout called by USA. Now down 15-17 😰 First game, first match too early for a prayer circle? Never too early for a prayer circle! Hoping they at least push to three. It’s a mountain to climb tho. |

Amazing. Dutch gets called for a double while setting. Commentators were wondering when they’ll finally get called.
Dutch calls timeout. USA 1-5 just before the side switch.

Dutch serving tough clawing their way back. Dalcena better hold on to their lead.
Omg. Phil blocked again. This early lead has diminished. 5-4

Dutch serving is just a lot better.
Dutch will take the lead at Set 2 TTO.
USA 9-12. This is not looking good. Dutch have gone on a 11-4 points run.

Dutch also serving a lot tougher. USA 13-17

When Dain Blanton interviewed Jason Lochhead before, he said they haven’t practiced against another team in 9 days and in the 9 days that they’ve been in Japan, they’ve only practiced for 3 hours together.

Lucena played really well, sided out almost perfect (with a few points to go). Tough to fault Phil I guess, sounds like some weird circumstances over there, but he got aced quite a bit, and the Dutch were swinging like his block wasn’t there. Besides a mini blocking run to start the 2nd, the Dutch overpowered us.
Hope we can bounce back!!
