MANILA, Philippines — Canada took down world No. 3 Japan in a thrilling back-and-forth duel, 25-21, 20-25, 25-15, 20-25, 15-10, to open its campaign in the pivotal Week 3 of the 2024 Volleyball Nations League men's tournament with a bang on Tuesday at the Mall of Asia Arena. The Canadians traded haymakers with the fan-favorite Japan ese squad in the first four sets before slamming the door in the clincher behind a searing 6-3 start en route to the gritty win.
It was Szwarc who put on the finishing touches with back-to-back hits to punctuate a telling 5-1 rally for a 12-7 Canada lead in the fifth set that proved to be enough in the win as Japan's comeback fell short. Team captain Yuki Ishikawa, one of the two Best Outside Hitters last VNL finals, propelled Japan to within 6-7 but to no avail with Szwarc and the Canadians unleashing one last ace up their sleeves for a strong closeout.
