JIANGMEN, China, June 7 (Xinhua) -- The United States continued its winning streak with a 3-0 (25-20, 25-22, 25-20) victory over China in women's fourth-round action at the FIVB Volleyball Nations League here on Thursday.

Wing spiker Michelle Bartsch-Hackley's 18 points helped the USA get its third victory in Jiangmen, extending its winning streak to 10.

"It's always exciting for us to come and play against a great team with great coaching staff led by coach Lang Ping. Every time we play against them, we get tested and we learned about ourselves," said USA head coach Karch Kiraly.

The USA took the final 10 points of the third set consecutively after trailing 20-15 on Bartsch-Hackley's serve. "I don't know what happened on the field either," said coach Lang Ping.

"Our middle blockers just couldn't keep up with USA's rhythm. Our players were uncomfortable with their rapid-movement attack. This is also a shortcoming when we play against many other world-class teams," added coach Lang.
