After a 2-0 start by the Filipina spikers, Japan pushed them back to their first technical timeout with 8 unanswered points mostly off smashes. This became the recurring theme of the opening set as the Japanese cruised, 25-12.
Another 11-5 run by Japan to kick off the 2nd set basically buried the Nationals anew en route to a 25-15 set. – Rappler.com
