USA crush Puerto Rico in Poland

KRAKOW, Poland, September 4, 2014 - With a superb performance in every department of the game, USA gathered their second Pool D victory after a smashing 3-0 (25-15, 25-8, 25-20) over a winless side of Puerto Rico in Krakow.

Only two players reached double numbers in the game - Matthew Anderson was the best scorer with 11 points and Taylor Sander, USA’s main weapon so far, added 10 kills. Paul Lotman and Maxwell Holt followed them with 9 apiece, while no player in Puerto Rico could score more than 5 points.

The Americans, who have had to play two matches of five sets entering this contest, cruised past their NORCECA fellows for a much needed 3-0 win for three points, elevating their total to 6 points for the tournament.

Puerto Rico are now at 0-3 with zero points and have not been able to win a single set thus far in Poland.
