The Iranian team, who had lost to USA 3-1 at the Galen Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, was defeated against the defending champion 3-1 (25-15, 25-16, 20-25, 25-20).

Amir Ghafour led Iran volleyball team with 13 points and Matthew Anderson scored 19 points for USA.

The defeat left Team Melli at the bottom of Pool B without a point.
