Volleyball News: The United States enters the final day of the opening week of the 2023 Volleyball Nations League (VNL) as one of only three undefeated national teams after beating Canada on Saturday (10/06) in Ottawa.
The United States played in front of a sold-out crowd at TD Place, with nearly every fan rooting for Canada. The United States ultimately managed to secure their third win with a 3-0 (25-22, 25-20, 25-20) score of the 2023 VNL, making their record in Pool 1 still perfect.
Matt Anderson, 36, a bronze medalist at the 2016 Rio Olympics, played a key role in the American victory.
He was the team’s top scorer throughout the game. His numbers improved from the seven points he scored against Italy to 18 points against Canada.
“Every time we play against Canada, and especially in front of our home crowd, it’s a good experience for us,” Anderson said after the match, as quoted by volleyballworld.
“We’ll definitely see them again in another tournament this season. I just had a pretty bad ankle problem last week so it’s been a bit of a struggle to get my rhythm back, but it’s only a matter of time before we’re all fit again. We’ve got a very experienced squad so it’s just about working hard to get the best results in the games.
