They were neck-and-neck in the second set as well and both teams had set points but failed to convert them as they made service errors under pressure, until Russell and Torey Defalco converted to help the Americans go 2-0 up.That gave the U.S. a huge boost and they were impenetrable at the start of the third set when they won four block points as Italy struggled to find a way through Maxwell Holt, Christenson and Russell.
