Belgium's Britt Herbots becomes the first player at the 2021 VNL to make the 'Over 30s' club with 33 against the Dominican Republic.

Belgium outside hitter Britt Herbots delivered 33 points against the Dominican Republic on Monday, as Week 2 of the 2021 FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League opened, becoming the first player of this tournament to make the exclusive list of players who have scored 30 points or more in a single match.

Herbots got in one block and killed 32 times from 66 attacks (48%) as she led Belgium to a thrilling comeback win 3-2 (31-33, 19-25, 25-20, 25-16, 15-11).

She is the second Belgian player to make the prestigious list, after Kaja Grobelna's 32 points against the Netherlands in 2019.

Poland's Malwina Smarzek holds the all-time VNL record with 42 points in four sets against Bulgaria in 2019.
