In a preliminary matchup between two undefeated teams Wednesday afternoon, the U.S. squad cruised to a victory over Serbia in four sets (25-17, 21-25, 25-18, 25-19).

Rachael Adams (18 points, four service aces) and Foluke Akinradewo (16 points) led the way for the Americans as they exploited their opponents mistakes, tallying 26 points on Serbia's errors.

The U.S. now has eight points to lead Pool B, one point ahead of China and two ahead of Serbia and the Netherlands.
