The Canadian’s served all but two balls at Wang in the match, throwing the team off, as Wang is their stronger blocker. On the attack, Humana-Paredes was successful with a number of shots, mixing it up to trip up the Chinese crew. She was blocked twice by Wang trying to hit the ball hard to her left.

Wang hit the ball either extremely hard cross or attempted down the line on her attack, being successful at both but Pavan’s strong block was difficult to hit around.
