USA Sweeps Argentina
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, July 24, 2007.-
Behind four players scoring double-figure points, the U.S. Men's
National Volleyball Team swept Argentina 25-17, 25-22, 25-21 in
Pool B action.
Brook Billings led the U.S. with 12 points, Sean Rooney and Jim
Polster turned in 11 points apiece and Delano Thomas provided 10.
Lucas Chavez paced Argentina with 13 points despite only starting
the third set.
"Tonight was a nice match by both teams," Polster said. "Our young
guys did well again. Both Sean and Brook played well, and we are
one step closer to our goal."
"The balance in scoring has come from Kevin (Hansen)," Coach Ron
Larsen said. "We give him a game plan, and he is good at
understanding it. Kevin is able to spread the offense and
distribute the ball. When everyone hits as well as they did
tonight, it makes his job even easier."
