USA Head Coach Shawn Patchell:
“India played really well. Coming into the tournament, I believe our strongest area was blocking. Tonight, India took advantage of our block by hitting through it and around it.”

USA Captain Murphy Troy:
“We needed to have played better defense tonight against India to win.”

India Head Coach M.H. Kumara:
“I am delighted with the win. We made history tonight by winning the pool and beating a team from the Olympic champion country. This is a very big moment for Indian volleyball.”

India Captain Mandeep Singh:
“I want to congratulate all our players, coaching staff and the National Federation for this accomplishment.”
