Hisamitsu Springs avenged its two losses in the FIVB Women’s Club World Championship by denying Bangkok Glass in straight sets, 25-14, 25-18, 25-20, Thursday at Mall of Asia Arena.

It was the first win of the 2014 Asian champions in the tournament to put their record at 1-2 even as the bronze medalists in the 2016 Asian championship slipped to 0-2.

Hisamitsu Springs team captain Miyu Nagaoka was satisfied with how the team played and it somehow erased the painful sting of their first two games.

Hisamitsu Springs head coach Kumi Nakada had the opportunity to field her younger players against Bangkok Glass to help them get exposure in the world stage.
