USA beat Iran 3-0 (27-25, 25-21, 25-20) in Plovdiv, Bulgaria Sunday evening.
“I’m happy with the way our guys played. We did a nice job receiving the ball, put some pressure on them from the service line,” Neilson said.
“Our team did a very good job competing in this pool, that’s what we wanted to see from a group of young guys who are still trying to find their identity and play consistent volleyball,” he added.
“I’m happy with their performance and there’s a lot of bright things in the future for a lot of these guys,” Neilson concluded.
