What Happened Here? 😱 USA 🇺🇲 vs 🇮🇹 Italy | Volleyball Women

They go at her again. Zamedi on the block. Lanier, nice dig. Establishes. Big transition play. Swing. Good up from Rodriguez in the backcourt off the overpass. Avery Skinner attacking. They haven't gotten great numbers out of their outside hitters yet. Again, this case, it was an Italy error. Off speeds. Pass was over. Igidi patient, waiting for it. From the backcourt. Oro handles the first ball. Right up by Rodriguez. Unable. Just wasn't high enough. After all, it's coming quick at her. They do not. They go the other way. And here will be Lanier's first swing. Lanier is learning really quick. Lanier playing in the attack. Middle turn the other way. Ball is tight. Running the middle a lot is the United States right now. Long rally. It'll go to Aganu. Well blocked. Zamedi. Separate times during that rally. Off the block. Recycled well. Aganu. Off hands. Skinner tracks it down. Here will be Lanier. In the book. Like he was so high. Will be her teammate this year in Italy. Sarah Farr, who was her teammate. A serve. Bomb from Huff. Top spin serve. Putting a lot of pressure. Outside. Lanier well off. The other way. The middles have been switched in place where they're able to run. That's something they've really got going over the last. The break. Down the line. Degrotti. Perfect pass. A perfect pass from Farr. Two players that have played together for so many years. USA. Outside. Avery Skinner. Big swing. Dejan. Nothing. And then it's tooled off the block. Back. Zamedi has taken bigs down the line. I love the way that. Well, Poulter's got to continue to feed her. She was the best. Reckie serve. Down the line. Handled well. Between the two. Great serve. And again. From the service line. Kind of a miscommunication on Italy's side as well. Two players. Just get caught looking at it. Dejan Aro pass. Back to Iganu from the right side. No hand. Pass is perfect. Dig is good. Over dig. See that overpass coming. It's like salivating. Nobody else is setting you. So why not, right? Farr's to try to beat them. But right now they're a beatable Italy team. Yeah, and this is a team who has won 26 consecutive matches. A world record. Another league of five set win. From the backcourt. Got a little touch from Denezzi. Oro. They were ready for it. Powerful. Fired up. Going on Italy's side. No one taking control. Not the prettiest wrap. Oro serve. Keeping it on. Lanier. Zamedi. Zamedi in our lives. If you're on the U.S. It's going right inside the blockers. Now 13-10 in USA's favor. There it is again. Amiri. She starts swinging hard. Rodriguez. Puts it on the money. Skinner finishes. It was some in a high enough clip to use it. But here. Getting that wrist out. Skinner. Iganu and Aigidi does a nice job. To Aigidi with no libero. Well handled. The perfect spot to make that play as well. To get that set. Time out. Off the block. During set three win. Come back. So this is a team that knows how to do it. They never get rattled. Never. First ball handled. By Poulter. No good. Perfect pass by Franklin coming in off the bench. It's States. USA. Vigenaro slides in. Oro outside. DeGrasse either right now. The floor really. What scoring for USA to pick up those tips. Ball one point. In this. And Andropova. Sub again. Big side in this rotation. Force everything on the right side of the court. Again talent like Italy does. Where you have two. World class. Opposite hitters. Andropova again. Blocked. And Franklin. Beautiful line shot. While also knowing. Three point lead. To the middle. Error after error by. Through the block. Reaches back. It's that moment. From Andropova. That serve was just a little bit. Kind of a lollipop. Right at DeGrasse. Of course. But up. Samity comes in. Beautiful brave swing. By Stephanie Samity. Andropova off the block. To then dive back. And get it back in. Stacked over to the right. They serve into that traffic to Franklin. Outside. Sela. Samity again. Changes the pace. Stephanie Samity. That's the first off speed. Reki's serve. Flat. And strong. And saying I was waiting. I was waiting. Team 20 will. Italy capitalize upon it. And clean up their errors. Samity covers her own attack. Skinner. Release. Carlotta Kambi sends it back. That's Andropova. Massive swing from Andropova. Passes. Okay. There's Skinner. Goes away from that. On it. And rips this ball. They came in last week and averaged over 20 points per match. Answer out of the middle. Allows the middle to get ran. This is Giovannini. 23 year old. Rodriguez. First contact is good. Paganu. Perfectly put it right out of bounds. Out of the net. Picked up. Franklin. One on one. Who do you go to? Paganu. Off the block. And 22 apiece. When Italy's Paganu. One of the best players in the world. Serving again. Over to Franklin. It's gonna go Franklin. It's the only outlet. Block waiting for her. This is where Italy is so good. Strong first touch. They run. Izzi from Italy. Allows USA to get the middle. And an ace serve. Talk about clutch. Eggleston. De Janaro handles the first ball. Oro. Back to Paganu. Paganu. Pass is perfect. Skinner. Ripcord. Back there are two players that have had so much time together. They know that connection. Sammody serve. Strong serve. Push into that back corner. Over the right back defender. Set. Franklin. Franklin serve. Dropping low. De Grotti scoops underneath it. It's Paganu. Expect her to keep getting the ball. Outside. Skinner off the block. It's still good. What an effort by Franklin. Middle. Rodriguez underneath. Outside. Another one by Lexi Rodriguez. Skinner. Oro outside again. Franklin from the back. Defense on both sides. Match point. Pass is good. Beautiful by De Janaro. Avery Skinner. Ball is down and good. And Italy. Never get rattled because they can rely on that comfortability. All the way around.
