OSAKA, Japan, Oct. 11 -- China trounced Russia 3-1 here to advance to the third round of the FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship as runners-up of Pool F.
The scores of the four sets were 25-22, 21-25, 25-23 and 25-15, respectively.

China took the dominance for most of the time in the first set here. Russia managed to save two set points after trailing 24-20, but China, coming back from a timeout called by coach Lang Ping, settled 25-22 with a spike by Zhu Ting.
The Russians managed to pull their acts together in the second set and with Irina Voronkova and Ksenila Parubets, both of whom scored 25 points in the match, on fire, won the set 25-21.
In the third set, China built an early lead 3-0 but soon was leveled by Russia. The two sides took turns to lead and after a 22-22 tie, Yan Ni and Li Yingying put China ahead to win 25-23.
The fourth set saw more errors from the Russians and China sealed the victory with ease 25-15.
