The U.S. men’s national volleyball team, with three players with Hawaii ties on the roster, lost its FIVB World Cup opener to Argentina 3-2 in Fukuoka, Japan, on Tuesday.
“This was a tough match to start the tournament,” U.S. team captain Micah Christenson said after the 25-21, 25-20, 19-25, 21-25, 15-12 loss. “We were not good in the first two sets but we showed fight to push it to the tiebreak. Unfortunately we did not come out on top.”
Christenson (Kamehameha) had a kill and a block when playing the entire match at setter. Erik Shoji (Punahou) was the libero and Micah Ma’a, (Punahou) listed as the backup libber, did not play.
The Americans continue the round-robin tournament today against Italy.
