FRANCE flashed its Olympic gold medal-winning form in beating The Netherlands, 25-14, 25-23, 25-13, for its fifth victory in the Volleyball Nations League on Thursday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
“In the second set, we just found a way to come back,” said Stephen Boyer, who led France with 11 kills and four service aces for 15 point. “It’s always good to win. We played good volleyball today.” Counting Tuesday’s forfeit win against China, France improved to 5-1 in the standings. “It’s always good to win. We played good volleyball,” said Boyer. Earvin N’ Gapeth, the Most Valuable Player at last year’s Tokyo Olympics, thanked Filipino fans and hoped to play two more impressive games in the VNL’s Quezon City leg.
France’s lone setback came at the hands of world No. 1 Poland in Week 1 in Ottawa, Canada, last June 12.
