After dropping their first two matches in Rio, the U.S. men’s volleyball team has bounced back with two consecutive wins.
Saturday night John Speraw’s team defeated France in four sets, 25-22, 25-22, 14-25, 25-22, to move to 2-2 in group play. And with their final match being against a team that has yet to earn a point in Mexico, the Americans have hope when it comes to getting out of the group. The U.S. began the day in fifth place on three points (Canada also had three points but holds the tiebreaker), and with Canada playing Mexico Saturday this was a match they had to have.
