Conegliano, Italy, May 29, 2019 – An amazing battle between USA and Italy saw coach Karch Kiraly’s players claim victory against the hosts on Wednesday in Conegliano.

Italy player Miriam Sylla: “I’m not sorry at all about the Italy seen tonight. We did the best we could at the moment – USA are the only unbeaten team in the tournament. We need time to find the right balance on the court. We have the skills and the time to grow. Thanks to this wonderful audience that made its warmth felt from start to finish.”

Italy captain Cristina Chirichella: “It was still a good Italy, beyond the result. We showed good results against a very respectable opponent. We mustn’t forget that just a week ago many of us played in the Champions League final. This is a long competition during which it’s essential not to fall after defeats and not to get excited after victories. Tomorrow we have another very tough challenge against Serbia.”

USA coach Karch Kiraly: “A test battle for both teams. Some difficult times and we played good volleyball too. For a young group this was a learning experience.”

USA player Haleigh Washington: “That’s a really good team. We did a good job getting better as the match got going, building the game and continuing to push.”
