Welp that got interesting until it wasn't. Might be *slightly* worrying that Boskovic had to drop 35+ to sweep Japan though. They definitely want someone else to help with scoring. Did anyone else score more than 15?

Boskovic 31 kills
Rasic 7 kills
Popovic 4 kills
Blagojevic 4 kills
Milenkovic 2 kills

I’m thinking they might deploy Brankica when they need some more offense but are letting her rest until they need her. The middles are taking a lot of pressure off her. Also 15 points would be a lot for another player to score in 3 sets

I'm curious what Milenkovic passed. Seems like she held up really well.

Bosko with 31 kills on 49 swings. She's only on 92 swings so far and is getting the day off against Kenya. Terzic probably happy with her usage level.

Theoretically, Serbia should be able to beat Korea without Boskovic too. They may only need her to play once more against Brazil and do whatever it takes to win that match.

Stats say she got served 29 times, she was clearly the target. Nobody else had more than 6. Success % at 74.36.

Yes, it's very possible they can spell her v. Korea, esp. if they sweep Brazil.

Not sure I trust the Success %'s we've been seeing, but a huge upgrade for them in that aspect regardless.

I would like to see Rasic get set more

I don’t mean to be “person who knows nothing” but all of Serbia’s rosters list popovic as a libero?

There's 2 Popovic's. One is a middle, one is a libero.
