🇹🇷 TUR vs. 🇮🇹 ITA - Highlights Quarter Finals | Women's VNL 2023

Back to Vargas. Got hit. And then patrolled in the middle by Erdom. Behind it, but to have the reaction time to get it up, even more difficult. Center of the serve received. She's going to pass a lot of balls today. Nails. And then Vargas plays cleanup. Carkert. Another really critical pass. And Vargas unloads. Vargas and Ibrar-Karkert switching spots at that opposite position, trying to find the right combination. Pressure on. Pass is perfect. Karkert with a great dig. This is a tough angle for Vargas. She keeps it in play. Sela, shut down. Find this big attack. Just good defense all around. Karkert throwing her body at this one. Good read from the middle, dropping that right hand. Shaheen, front court center. Karkert, yeah. Italy really going at two players most of the time. It's either Rocco or Sela for the majority. In their offense, and they put up good numbers, so rightfully so, but they have to do a better job trying to get those middles involved a little bit to open up something. But again, a good answer from Italy. Big time pass from Icatch. Vargas, so sharp. Bocio, one arm back. Stepping in for the second. It looks like Orge wants to take it, but a lot of miscommunication of who really is actually going to play that ball. Yeah. Set point number two, Turkey. Bocio to the middle. You know it's going to go back to Vargas. Why not? Vargas on roads for the final point of set number one. Sir, the slide attack doubled up with that back row attack as well. Difficult to go up with. Blockers confused. Vargas gets a good cross-court swing. One hundred and five kilometers an hour. Bounced up front. These blockers a little bit too far outside, allowing that cross-court to open up. Big dig. Vargas from the backcourt another one. Italy just defending themselves right now. Vargas again. Lacolleur tries to end the conversation. It won't go away. Fourth swing from Vargas. Have a seat. She's exhausted, no doubt. Backcourt defense, just dig after dig. Do whatever she can to keep these balls of Vargas off balance. Still able to get the kill. Unreal. Slicing it cross-court. Dig after. They put it on Vargas to see if it'll take her out. Oh, you got Karakurt instead. Gorgeous. Team nine. Italy trying to find any way. And it's a block. It's a kill. It's a back. It's an ace serve. There were three serves, but great run. I think you hope that the errors will come within two or three. Certainly with Vargas, you want it within one. I did. This is the thing. It isn't just Vargas. It isn't just Karakurt, is it? It's everybody. Everybody working hard, whether it's good defense in the back row from Orge or Ilkayn Aydin. Omarui averages more than 11 points per match. She played against Turkey the first time. Begradi has been a difference maker. Third kill for her since entering and a nice pass. Over the top, Aydin, just skilled. Three of them in this set. Set point, Turkey. Will be with service pressure, and Turkey goes up to nothing. Pass is great. Can you run the middle? Go to Degradi. Ripping down the line. Degradi's been a game changer. Airdun serving. Good turn. Starts off with Forcino. Finishes her platform right to the target. Great pass. And Nwoklor gets it done on that back pin. Another solid block, Marcus. Karakurt. Great pass. They go to the middle, but it's still the connection they want. Degradi has been the answer for all. She even tries to cover that one herself. Beautiful set. It's only three points for Ibley. Now just two. That's the fire they need. They test her immediately. She passes a dime. And then Vargas ends the conversation. Back again. Block. Vargas taking care of some. Nasty. And I love it. Shaheen. And the best time to do it, too. She's moving forward. Get them to defend. Degradi's on her, really. Degradi comes back with a great pass. I don't like that connection in the middle. It's not high enough for either middle when they're coming in and it's on the other side. Pass. From the middle. It's still up. Better get up. Slide behind. Off the block. Hughes. What's going to happen? They're going to crush. Fearless swing. Outside, Karakurt. This time a power tip through the block. Midas touch. Wakalor breaks through the block. Straight down. There's a big answer for Italy up front. And Wakalor, one of the best blockers on this team. Turkey ahead of the States. On tap as they again sweep Italy.
