The Americans could have ended the day in second, but are now fourth with six victories and 16 points.<\/p>\n<p>Opposite Yukiko Wada was the unlikely Japanese hero against the Americans. The 21-year-old player, who had scored 22 points in the first seven matches of the VNL 2023, had arguably the best performance of her career, carrying the Asian offense with a whooping 32 points (28 kills, one ace and three blocks).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just tried to remain aggressive and don\u2019t be afraid of their block,\u201d she said after the match. \u201cWe had some pretty tough matches before this one. We had a meeting with the players and said to each other that we had to keep fighting for every single point. We still hadn\u2019t won a tie-breaker in the VNL and we did it today, so I think that we need to keep this same mindset for the third week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/volleyballworld\/status\/1670248818011680771?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1670248818011680771%7Ctwgr%5E10fcf6c030a1e0405c7170dc9c4cf6f93595a239%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.volleyballworld.com%2Fvolleyball%2Fcompetitions%2Fvnl-2023%2Fnews%2Fwada-shines-as-japan-end-usa-s-unbeaten-run-in-the-vnl-2023\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/volleyballworld\/status\/1670248818011680771?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1670248818011680771%7Ctwgr%5E10fcf6c030a1e0405c7170dc9c4cf6f93595a239%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.volleyballworld.com%2Fvolleyball%2Fcompetitions%2Fvnl-2023%2Fnews%2Fwada-shines-as-japan-end-usa-s-unbeaten-run-in-the-vnl-2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Japan\u2019s outside hitter duo of Mayu Ishikawa and Sarina Koga also played a big role in the team\u2019s victory, with the 23-year-old Ishikawa registering 19 points (16 kills, two aces, one block) and team captain Koga adding another 12, all in kills.<\/p>\n<p><em><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-109780\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lcpdivyj1yfmis2df200-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lcpdivyj1yfmis2df200-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lcpdivyj1yfmis2df200-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lcpdivyj1yfmis2df200-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lcpdivyj1yfmis2df200-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lcpdivyj1yfmis2df200-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lcpdivyj1yfmis2df200-580x326.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lcpdivyj1yfmis2df200-860x484.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lcpdivyj1yfmis2df200-1160x653.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lcpdivyj1yfmis2df200-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lcpdivyj1yfmis2df200-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lcpdivyj1yfmis2df200-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lcpdivyj1yfmis2df200-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lcpdivyj1yfmis2df200-1320x743.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lcpdivyj1yfmis2df200-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ishikawa tips the ball over the American block<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The United States, who didn\u2019t start setter Micha Hancock, opposite Jordan Thompson or middle blocker Haleigh Washington, had in outside hitter Khalia Lanier their top scorer with 20 points (15 kills, two aces, three blocks.
