Alexich, most of the teams have been going after Franti with their serves.
Boscovich, her first swing of the match, and she gets her first point of the match.
Then the other players on court, but also they want to stop her offense.
They get the ball, forearms in the net.
Lucky break for USA.
There it's a back row, Boscovich, her third point already.
Yeah, get prepared.
USA is going to see that later and cringe a little bit.
Poulter sets Drews, certainly a touch there.
Mikhailovich keeps it alive.
Free ball chance, U.S.
Poulter, Ogbogu picked up by Mikhailovich.
Here's Boscovich.
USA keeps it alive.
Franti just bumps it over.
Another chance, Boucha, block, big block, Ogbogu.
USA side to continue working for that point, so that one's picked up.
USA getting themselves, looking for hands as a target.
Boscovich picked up by the U.S.,
but it's pressure, and here comes Boscovich,
and the block is there from Cook and Washington.
Do not see those kind of blocks often against Boscovich.
Cook really well placed there.
Two point lead, Serbia here in this opening set.
Carlini is out right now.
Double switch for the U.S.
Coutinho and Carlini are in.
And here comes Coutinho, picked up by Boucha, blocked by Coutinho.
They both make an impression early on.
Coutinho pretty much on the money every single time when they're.
Best middle blocker in the VNL this year
and one of the best two at the Olympic Games last year.
Good joust at the net.
USA with a chance, picked up by Boucha.
Dercic Mihajlovic off hands,
and it's a three point lead, Serbia.
They are down by five here.
Crucial points in this opening set.
Coutinho, that is covered by Pusic.
Boscovich hammers it down.
Serbia is doing such a good job of getting themselves set
high enough out of the reach of the defense.
USA captain Kelsey Robinson-Cook overpass, and Jordan Poulter
has got a point for herself.
Some for her team earlier this time, Cook putting one up for Poulter.
Because of your high level of sportsmanship.
Washington serve, Pusic, nice pass.
And then Mihajlovic picked up by the U.S.
Here's Drews.
Great dig by Dercic.
Boscovich from her offside.
USA trying to keep it alive.
Almost, Annie Drews.
Off the floor.
You know, you're going to see bodies on the USA side.
Look how far inside she is.
Washington does it good.
Couldn't find her sideline.
They go back to Ogbogu.
Picked up by Serbia. Boscovich.
USA has coverage.
Poulter, back set, Drews.
Covered by Serbia again.
They go middle and Stavanovic hammers it to the same ball as before.
So pretty much the same result, except in, but it wasn't.
Other players got to get lined up, got to be really disciplined
and stronger on them.
Yeah, they're not going to win if only one player gets points.
But there's Stavanovic with a monster block.
Huge.
She is so elite.
Tie game here in set number two.
Serbia won the first.
Dersa sets across for Mikhailovic and the block is there.
Washington and Poulter helping out.
What coach Karchkarai was asking of his players.
Hey, you're not going to get all of Boscovich attacks,
but I want you to be better on the other players.
And that is.
I don't know that Lauren Carlini's face counts as a touch.
No, no, I guess not.
Oh, and it's another ace for Stavanovic.
Down the line, the corner.
That means Poulter is back in.
And Annie Drews is back in.
Here's Franti.
Kucic gets the up.
Dersa bumps it all the way across.
Mikhailovic can't do anything with it.
Just send it over.
Same story for the U.S.
Another chance.
Here's Mikhailovic.
Boscovich hammers it home.
High for that one.
But again, the ball going back to Boscovich.
And she's finding angles that just don't exist.
None could be found.
Boscovich takes a lot off that serve.
Poulter goes back for Drews.
And that's a huge block for Busa.
Busa just staying exactly where she was.
Dersa, first time tonight, calls her own number.
She can make or break the game as well.
This is a moment where all the players of U.S.
One's attacking.
That's a huge serve from Dersa.
More trouble on the serve.
Here's Kelsey Robinson.
Kuk, boom.
Karabajama with an ace.
She has it, but she has sparks of greatness.
Karabajama serving again.
Here's Boscovich from the back row.
Now, Bajama is going to bump it up for Kuk.
And she gets the point off Stavanovic.
Right now, it's kind of exactly what USA needs.
For Serbia, winning Boscovich and Dersa,
arguably their two most important players on the bench right now.
Bialitsa blocked by Ogbogu, and it's a four point lead USA.
At least Santorelli's premonition was right.
Yeah, he might have spoken, it didn't exist.
Here's Drews just reaching.
Boscovich, Poulter waiting for it.
Wangorantes sets Drews, and it's down on the USA side.
Not going to be used this time.
Going up really low and tight.
Cutting off the angle there.
I talk about that a lot, but middle blockers.
Bianca Buccia,
Poulter, Robinson-Kuk picked up by Boscovich.
Mihailovic blocked by Ogbogu.
Yeah, Ogbogu was there so early.
Plays Ngalatasare in Turkiye.
Here's Boscovich, blocked.
Big point USA.
Just what they needed when they needed it.
It's huge for USA, even just to shut her down one time, two times.
Get her thinking about her attack for the next one.
Robinson-Kuk.
Still a seven point advantage USA.
Back row, why not go to the hot hand?
Eight points in this set.
Captain Kuk delivering
over and over in this set.
If I'm the blockers of Serbia, I think I would just camp out on her.
She was huge for USA with some aces.
And we are underway.
USA in blue, Serbia in red.
Serbia gets the first point.
Lutso is in the game as well for Serbia.
Sara Lutso.
Annie Drews goes cross court.
And back and forth we go here.
Great push from Poulter.
So much width on that.
There's a cross for Bursa,
and she's really having a good game.
The blockers pulled their hands away there, so she might have tried
to go high and deep, but instead she.
Again, USA calls the middle and a Bogu responds.
Keep getting the middle involved, Poulter.
She knows she has some of the best in the world.
USA, Stavanovic serving.
Good pass for the Americans.
Here's Bajima, gets just enough touch on it.
Make sure she's out of the offense.
Good point.
So even if she does pop that one up.
Wilhite Parsons, who plays at Scandici in Italy, into the game
and a nice touch in the middle from Popovic, I think.
Popovic again, she's been having a lot of success
with that really hard driven ball.
They're both making it difficult on each other.
Saralotso brings the ball into play.
Poulter, the set for Robinson-Cook, nice up from Pusic.
There's a bump set across for Bursa.
Kept alive by the U.S.
Free ball sent over, chance for Serbia.
Boscovic blocked, covered by Serbia.
Here comes Bursa, way off the net, picked up by Pusic.
Boscovic again, from well off the net, and she does it again.
Almost a must take point from the U.S., it seems.
Here's Drews, kept alive by Serbia.
Here's Boscovic, she goes block out, and it's 23-19 Serbia.
And Robinson-Cook was having a little bit of joy against her earlier on.
Oh, it's just over, Pusic has it.
Here's a chance, Boscovic ends it.
They're going to play for gold.
Serbia might have a chance to repeat.
They are going to the gold medal game.
