BEIJING — Logan Tom had 25 points as the U.S. women's volleyball team defeated Poland in five sets on Sunday, the final day of preliminary pool play.
The United States had already clinched a spot in the quarterfinals before the 18-25, 25-21 19-25, 25-19, 15-13 victory. The women finish 4-1 in their pool, with the lone loss coming to undefeated Cuba.
With the loss, Poland was eliminated.
The U.S. will have to wait until Sunday's matches are finished to learn its opponent in the quarterfinals, which start Tuesday.
The U.S. team has three former University of Hawai'i players in setter Robyn Ah Mow-Santos, middle blocker Heather Bown and outside hitter Kim Willoughby. Setter Lindsey Berg, who played for Minnesota, is a Punahou School alum. Tom's father, Mel, was a star prep athlete in Hawai'i.
