USA will meet China in the final of the Montreux Volley Masters after the two sides beat Cuba and Russia respectively on the penultimate day of the women’s competition in Switzerland on Saturday.
USA took advantage of a number of Cuba mistakes on the way to a 3-0 win in the day’s first semifinal. Following some solid defense in the first set, USA went to work on disrupting the Cuban offense. Cuba eventually lost patience to let the second and third set slip from its grasp and with that, a place in the finals.
China marked its return to the tournament by beating Russia 3-1 in the semifinal to book a meeting with USA. The Russians, led by powerful duo Goncharova and Kosheleva easily won the first set before China clinched the second. The third set also went China’s way however the fourth almost fell to Russia following some sublime attacking. However the wall of Chinese blockers was too much and they fell at the final hurdle.
The two sides will now meet on Sunday to decide the winner of the 2010 Monteux Volley Masters.
