Canada improves to 3-0 with win over China at world volleyball championship

Canada is off to an excellent start at the world volleyball championship.

The Canadians improved to 3-0 with a 3-1 (25-22, 25-19, 21-25, 25-23) win over China on Saturday in Ruse, Bulgaria.

“That’s good that we are ready to fight and everybody was ready with positive performances,” Canada coach Stephane Antiga said. “We can play better obviously, but we had to fight to win this game and I think that is best preparation for the two last very difficult games (Brazil and France) of this first round.”

Canada rallied from a 16-12 deficit in the fourth set to finish the match. It was Canada’s seventh consecutive win over China at a major world event.
