U.S. women move on to play for volleyball gold

Team USA is moving on to play for the volleyball gold after defeating the previously unbeaten Cubans in three straight matches.

The U.S. women’s volleyball team has advanced to the gold medal game, defeating Cuba in three sets to guarantee the Americans their best Olympic finish since 1984.

The United States will play the winner of Thursday night’s Brazil-China semifinal for the Olympic title on Saturday.

Cuba, three-time Olympic gold medal winners, will play the loser of that semifinal for the bronze.

The U.S. improved to 6-1 in Olympic play with the 25-20, 25-16, 25-17 victory.

The team’s best finish in the Olympics was a silver medal at the 1948 Los Angeles Games.
