On the final day of the Tokyo Olympics, Team USA sweeps Brazil to clinch the nation's first-ever gold in women's volleyball.
Michelle Bartsch-Hackley set the tone in the first set with two straight kills, and the U.S. took a 4-0 lead. Strong defensive play from Foluke Akinradewo Gunderson and stellar serves by Kim Hill propelled the Americans to a 25-21 victory despite a missed call gifting Brazil a point. Bartsch-Hackley finished Set 1 with eight kills and scored the final point to carry the momentum into Set 2.
By Set 3, the Americans were playing in perfect sync and with an intensity only seen when there is a gold medal on the line. Brazil wasn't scoring with its usual ferocity, and the U.S. took advantage of all its opponent's miscues while executing the game plan flawlessly. Three-time Olympian Jordan Larson drilled the match point to bring up the final 24-15 score in Set 3.
