USA took early control winning the first set 25-12.
They came back to take the second, 25-11 and then the third, 25-17.
It is USA’s first win of the competition having fallen to Venezuela a day earlier.
Antigua and Barbuda lost to Cuba.
It was the first match of Day 2 action in the tournament.
Antigua and Barbuda will face Venezuela in their final group encounter on Thursday at midday.

Two tough losses, but this is the team’s first time at this level. Just getting here is a huge achievement—keep your heads up!
Tomorrow against Venezuela is a chance to finish strong. Hopefully, they can grab a set or two and gain confidence
