Valentyna Davidova, Ukraine – “It is one of the best wins of our career. It was a big wind, it’s very difficult to play. We blocked well, we played defense well and had good serves.”
Brooke Sweat, USA – “It was tough but we made it even tougher on ourselves. We had so many chances but our setting and our rhythm was just way off and we never changed it. We’re not going to beat any teams playing like that so we have a lot regrouping to do. I’m happy we still won pool but that’s a crappy way to go out and I’m really pissed about it. It didn’t matter what they did. Our side was so ugly it did not matter what was happening on the other side of the court. With this wind, we wanted to be good at every contact. If we’re really good on pass and set we can make a good shot but we weren’t good at those two and we made so many unforced errors and just kind of gave it them.”
Summer Ross, USA – “I’m disappointed in that game but I’ll find my rhythm next game and come out better. It was just weird. I’ll have to re-watch it. (On being in the round of 32) It’s awesome. I can’t wait to redeem ourselves in the next game.”
