USA – Nigeria
USA coach Rodney Wilde decided to rotate his typical starting six, changing setter with Nicole Edelman in place of Kelsey Humphreys from the second set and then having all the girls on court (except Merete Lutz).
On the other side of the net, the Russian coach of Nigeria team Sergey Ovechkin tried to motivate his team, but it wasn’t even a great day for the top player of the African team, Mercy Promise. Nigeria best scorer was Doosuur Atule (9 points). USA balanced all their attackers with three players in double digits, but a particular mention is for Sarah Burrington got 13 points with a record of 6/11 blocks.
