USA after completing their fifth win in as many matches at the 2021 VNL.

USA cruised past the Netherlands in straight sets to remain the only team on full points after five matches at the 2021 FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League.

Here's the reaction after the game, from the virtual Mixed Zone:

Anne Buijs (The Netherlands): "It was a tough match for us. They have a very strong block and defence system and they put pressure on us and our sideout and I think it's a very good lesson for us to learn. This is a top team and this is what we have to do to be a top team ourselves. I think we played with courage today, there were some really good rallies - it's just the speed of the USA. They are so fast and that's something that we aren't used to, but I think that during the game we were growing and our block started to work better, so there are some positive things in this match and of course some to improve."

Foluke Akinradewo (USA): "Every day we come back and we are trying to play our game. We haven't had much time together in these past months, so it's just about streaming up point by point. The Netherlands are always a dangerous team and both of us came out a little bit slow. I think that when we were able to pick up our service pressure it really helped us with block and defence. Our goal is always to focus on things on the court. There are a lot of things we are working on. I think every time we step on the court, honestly, we are just trying to play our game, to score some points, just execute as much as possible and I think we do a really good job. Obviously, there is a lot of room for improvement, but we can continue to improve and to work on some things and come back stronger next game."
