After a couple really strong matches this one was a let down. This should have been a sweep but we let the foot off the gas in set 2 and then instead of learning our lesson we rolled in set 3 to have the same let down in set 4. The serving is too sporadic and patchy also instead of keeping the sharp focus we had in sets 1 and 3 we looked lackadaisical in sets 2 and 4. Maybe itโs fatigue or playing down to level of your opponent but we need to elevate our game if we want to take home gold or medal. I believe it still can be done just not feeling as optimistic the showdown with Brazil should give us a good idea of where we are at. Also my personal opinion Stahl should be in the rotation he has come in off the bench twice and been absolutely monstrous.

so glad the first 1.5 sets were rather boring so I didn't stay up to watch the fiasco that followed. And by boring, I mean Tunisia was not even close to being in the same league as the US. However, reading through the last 3 pages, I can tell you that serving errors are much much more boring.

I also agreed with the commentators that Speraw could've rested Sanders in sets 3 and 4. He ended up putting Jaseacke in half way through set 3, but then opted for Sanders again in set 4.

Surprised not to see Karch taking more blame for the rough play against Tunisia. Sure he is coach ing the women's team but why allow that excuse during the Olympics?
