With not very many details coming out of Winnipeg, it seems to be Canada's night.  Check out this movie from Volleyballstuff.com of Jason Haldane pounding a quick through the US block.  They now can relax during the next two games, knowing that they have a great chance to advance now to the final round, probably meeting the US team once again.

In other action, Puerto Rico defeated the Mexican team, 3-1.  Up next tomorrow, USA faces Puerto Rico and Canada faces Mexico.

The women are also qualifying now in Florida.  The US Women won their first game against the Dominican Republic in a come-from-behind victory, 3-2, 25-20, 23-25, 22-25 26-24 15-11.  Also, the Canadian women are getting it done, defeating the Puerto Rican women, 3-0, 35-33 25-8 25-21
