        You just cannot play much better than that, very donmnant. I think we play Turkey next who I believe pulled a big upset over a good China team.

                That would be one heck of a serve. She scored 20 points total so she had 18 points on her kills and most likely 2 points on blocks. I'm no expert and could be mistaken, but I believe it would need to be an ace for her to get credit for a pt. on her serve.

                  You’re correct but mine sounded more impressive

                    In a match pitting together the two teams that won gold and bronze at the previous Olympics, the United States beat China in straight sets Tuesday at Ariake Arena in Japan.

                    Hard-hitting opposite Jordan Thompson tallied an incredible 34 points — the most of any player, male or female, scored in a match at the Tokyo Games thus far — to help Team USA improve to 2-0, while China fell to a surprising if not shocking 0-2.

                            she appears to be one of the main female stars of the entire olympic team. The US needs that. That high school swimmer from Alaska and the fencer. Jordan got a lot of good press from her game.
