US sweeps Canada to earn trip to London

(AP) ? The U.S. men's volleyball team is headed back to the Olympics. The defending gold medalists punched their ticket to London on Saturday night by sweeping Canada (28-26, 25-18, 25-20) in the finals of the NORCECA Olympic qualification tournament at the Walter Pyramid. Cuba, No. 5 in the world, swept Puerto Rico (25-20, 25-21, 25-15) in the bronze medal match in the continental event. The United States and Canada traded the lead frequently in the opening set. The United States, based on its world ranking, would have gone on to a world qualification tournament in early June if the team did not advance out of the NORCECA tournament. The United States has earned trips to the last four Olympics via the NORCECA qualification tournament.
