BRA-USA
After two very interesting and quite uncertain sets, the third period of game USA opened with advantages of 5-0 and 8-2 and cruised to the 25-18 victory over Brazil. USA head coach Karch Kiraly inserted five new starters into the lineup after its series-opening win on Sunday, and the end result was the same.
Michelle Bartsch led USA with 14 points while opposite Andrea Drews scored 11 points. On the other side, Brazil’s Tandara led all scorers with 16 points while her teammate Amanda scored in 12 points.
The next friendly match will take place on Thursday (August 16), in Uberaba-MG, with the Sportv broadcast.
