🇺🇸 USA vs. 🇹🇷 TUR - Highlights Semi Finals | Women's VNL 2023

Back court center, both teams. Carpert on the right. Picked up. Sent back. If you're going to go at Gunesh, you've got to go hard. And two aces leading the way. Bounce. Ada Erdmann getting used to it. USA has been out of system much of the match. Triple block. Campfire cover. Incredible blocker for their team. It's caught. Cook. Tips. Read all the way by Carpert. And then Vargas. Uh-oh. She is getting hot. This ball from the back court just paints that sideline. A little space for her to hit. She just threads the needle on it. Beautiful. Talented middle for Team USA. Vargas has a tender side too. Toughest servers on the planet in the women's side. The other one a Russian. Just brutal. You can see this. I mean, it's just as hard as some of her attacks. You don't even see serves as hard in the men's game sometimes. That's how fast this ball is coming back at you. That front. That's good for Turkey. Cook left hand. Palm block by Cook. But to the left corner. Point. Turkey. Turkey takes set number one in front of a rabid crowd. Vargas. Everything she touched turns to gold. Ripper serve from Carpert brings Hancock all the way forward. Everybody knows it's going to be Skinner. And so, Turkey lines up on it. Quick to the right. Point, Turkey. They were giving her line, right? Just barely wide enough. Well off. And that's what's going to happen when you're far off. Perfect pass. But Carpert waiting. Santorelli stirring the lawnmower and Carpert taking a lap. Mirroring the slide so well. Making those movements that Washington makes. Perfect pass again. They'll go back to Washington again. Uh-oh. It's time for lap number two. Carpert two blocks. Again, just shuts it down. Her hang time absolutely insane. You can't tip right into these blockers. You've got to go up and over. Picked up. Pass. Carpert takes a nice swing. Turns it back. And Turkey is elite. Bransky's serve. Keeping it off. Carpert sharp. Lanier there and still got beaten inside. Chovicholou with the pass. A Bransky serve. Just a cannon. Point across court. Light the fuse and let it go. Beautifully done. Middle can be run. And they do. See if they can hold on to it. Bransky good pass. Is that ball in? That was sharp. There's another well done. Just sharper. It's like you leave a mark in the floor, you want to go a little sharper the next time or something. She's amazing. Shut down. Chovicholou. Pass is perfect. Run the middle. It's good. Back to Vargas. On road. Pass is there. Franti. Play still alive. Play is still alive. Franti. Set too far out. Vargas. Big dig. Huge. Well passed. Karakurt. Huge swing. Franti with a big dig. Franti, why not? Karakurt. Fans going nuts for home road Asia O'Neil. Long run. It lays out. It's in the hands of Hancock. Franti tagging the back line. These are all within a meter of the back line. Going forward for the second half of this set. If they want to get to a fifth. Perfect pass. Lanier changing pace. Just always composed. Lanier off the hands. Put in perfectly. From the middle, Chovicholou on the back. Kicked. It's still good. Longerantes clears everybody out. O'Neil. Still good. Turkey at relentless. Franti finishes the play. Again. Have to. Karakurt. It's tight. That's good for her. Jordan Thompson and Asia O'Neil shut it down. Nice pass. Franti. A big rip. Is it too little too late? Dee. Nice dig. Out to Karakurt. It's nice and tight. She pushes. Franti. The Midas touch. Lanier finishes it. USA is still alive. Chovicholou, no middle available with that pass. Out to Karakurt. Asia O'Neil set. Ever played it. Pass is good. Jordan Thompson and it ends on a block. Turkey wins the match and advances to the gold medal final.
