LONDON 2012...WOMENS Volleyball..Team USA takes #1 into the GOLD MEDAL Match...ONLY to get SILVER...BRAZIL shocks Team USA

US Women's Volleyball Team dominates the Volleyball in Pool Play and the Medal Round all they way up to the Mid-2nd Set vs Brazil.

Team USA wins the 1st Set vs Brazil in the Gold Medal Match 25-11 cruising and then all of a sudden as Only a Volleyball Match can change that is exactly what happened. The US lost their Composure, Swagger, Confidence, and Game as the Brazilians come from 1 down to taking 3 Sets in a Row as they dominate at the Net.

The Brazilians had a 14 total Spikes for a Total of 61 Points as Team USA was -27 in Spikes and -17 in Points. Once Team USA gave up the 2nd Set they completely fell apart and Team Brazil took full advantage of their Lack of Composure and Confidence.

The Biggest Disparity in the Contest was the Brazilians had a Dig Average of 15.75% and Team USA only had a Dig Average of 9.25%. If Team USA were to Fall Apart I wouldn't have thought it would be in this crucial Match.
