The young Canadian had a solid performance in offence with 27 points from the attack line and a point from the service line, while the Australian veteran finished with 23 attacks, three blocks and an ace.<\/p>\n<p>The Wolfdogs were on the road this weekend and started with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-17, 25-13) victory over VC Nagano on Friday, then completed their assignment in four sets (25-19, 25-21, 16-25, 25-20) on Saturday to stretch their win streak.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-71018\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/4-1-208x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"208\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/4-1-208x300.jpg 208w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/4-1-580x839.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/4-1-500x723.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/4-1.jpg 664w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 208px) 100vw, 208px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The home team missed the services of their Indonesian top scorer Rivan Nurmulki, while the visiting side got double-digit performances from their Polish superstar Bartosz Kurek who had 19 in the first outing and an impressive 30-point swing in the second one.

The visiting Panthers started their first match on Saturday with an opening set win, but the home team got their rhythm and gained a 2-1 edge. The Panthers succeeded in extending the match 27-25 but could not stop the Stings from scoring the win in the final set.<\/p>\n<p>The Stings\u2019 tandem of Felipe Fonteles and Kento Miyaura combined for 60 points to outscore the Panthers\u2019 scoring duo of Issei Otake and Michal Kubiak who produced only 41 points in the five-set encounter.

However, JT Marvelous had an edge in attacks (55-49), blocks (8-2) and had fewer turnovers (13-20).<\/p>\n<p>Last season\u2019s third-placers NEC Red Rockets are now in second place, following their double victories against Hitachi Rivale. The Red Rockets cruised to a 3-0 (25-10, 25-19, 25-21) win on Saturday, but had to shake off their rivals down the final stretch of their five-set match (25-10, 24-26, 25-17, 18-25, 15-12) on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-71016\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2-2-220x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2-2-220x300.jpg 220w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2-2-580x791.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2-2-500x682.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2-2.jpg 704w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sarah Wilhite led the Red Rockets with 17 points and gave superstar Sarina Koga a breather.

However, she was the scoring leader in the next match with 24 points, while Rinoo Murooka led the opposing side with 21 markers.<\/p>\n<p>Hisamitsu Springs moved down to third place in the rankings after they had a draw with Saitama Ageo Medics. They started off strong on Saturday with a 3-0 (25-22, 25-23, 25-21) but slowed down as Lorenne Teixeira\u2019s 26-point performance led Ageo Medics to hand them a defeat on Sunday 3-1 (25-27, 25-21, 25-15, 25-22).<\/p>\n<p>Denso Airybees moved up to fourth place after adding two wins to improve their record to 6-2.
