New look, same result.

Mostly.

Team USA tried four new starters and a different libero Thursday night against Italy, and again made it work to improve to 2-0 at the World Grand Prix Finals by winning 25-17, 25-14, 15-25, 25-18.

Although another straight-set victory didn’t materialize, the third-set hiccup actually was somewhat welcome before a crowd of 6,500 at the CenturyLink Center.
