Goiania, Brazil, June 2, 2018 – Newcomer Jake Langlois topscored with 15 points in USA’s straight-set victory over Korea to keep their unbeaten record in the FIVB Volleyball Nations League at the Goiania Arena on Saturday.
USA coach John Speraw: “We did not start this match very well, particularly in the service aspect. So it was a little bit concerned but fortunately we came back in the match. I hope we can start better tomorrow. We have finished both matches with great consistency.
“I am pleased with our ability to come back, stay focused and get better every set. Even when we know that things are going very well, there’s a lot of space for improvement, but there are good things too.
“Jake Langlois had his chance to play today and he responded great. He is a great team-mate, works hard, and he is young. I am really pleased with his developments.”
USA player Jake Langlois: “I live in Brazil for two years, doing volunteer work and serving people. It was a fantastic experience and I’m really happy to have performed well in Brazil. I’m happy for the team’s victory. That’s the most important thing, but I am also glad to be today’s best scorer. I think that I took my chance really well and I want to improve more. I miss being here in Brazil and I hope we can have a good performance against them tomorrow.”
