In just three sets, Zach Upp had a phenomenal 22 points, collecting 17 kills and a match-high five aces. Through today’s matches, Upp leads the tournament in points (115) and kills (85), and is second in aces (24).

The U.S. had an early 3-1 lead in set one, but Brazil scored five consecutive points to go ahead 6-3. The U.S. was down by only two points at 11-9 when three Brazil points made it 14-9. The U.S. could never get closer, dropping the set 25-18.
Set two was even until Brazil broke a close game at 15-15. A couple of kills gave them a two-point lead at 18-16. An Upp kill closed the gap to one at 20-19, but Brazil scored five straight to end the set 25-19.
The U.S. and Brazil played a tight one in set three, with the score tied at 16 in the middle of the set. A Brazil error and Upp ace gave the U.S. an 18-16 lead, but Brazil came back to tie it at 19. Two more points gave Brazil a 21-19 edge, but a pair of Duda kills tied it. Brazil went up 23-21, but a kill and a block from Duda tied it at 23.
