On the win over Argentina

“When Argentina is in rhythm, it’s hard to play some defense behind that. As soon as we got our service pressure and blocking defense going, it turned out a little bit better for us. It’s the first time in a year and eight months that we’ve played together. I’m happy with the first three games. There’s obviously some things we can learn from.”
