Serbia
Sometimes the importance of the game might tie your hands and that’s exactly what happened to Serbia.
The European side was superior in the first two sets (25-16, 25-19) but showed some weaknesses in the third (20-24).
In the fourth set, Serbia was on the right track, having 22-20, but suddenly started to make errors. Bošković comitted two, Stevanović and Mihajlović one each.
Argentinians didn’t want to miss that chance – Acosta fired for 23-25 and a tie-break. There, Rašić was unstoppable and Serbia converted a huge lead (8-3, 12-4) into win and qualification for Rio, maybe even a trophy at World Cup!
Serbian opposite hitter Tijana Bošković scored a game-high 30 points. Argentine Tanya Acosta had 18.
The other ticket to Summer Olympics is still unknown as USA clinched a straigh-set victory over Dominican Republic (Nicole Fawcett collected 15 pts.) and now needs 3-0 or 3-1 win of Japan over China to qualify.
If China takes any kind triumph, it will join Serbia in Rio and win the WC.
Current standings (first two teams go to Rio): Serbia 10-1 (26 pts.), China 9-1 (27 pts.), USA 9-2 (28 pts.)…
