And as their main man Leon Venero had limited game time, another ace spiker in Lukasz Kaczmarek delivered the goods with 10 crucial markers.
"We knew it before the game that we are the favorites. We have better players but they were playing very good volleyball without any pressure. They are also fighting to not go down [to relegation] in the VNL so they were pushing very hard. But we got the three points and I'm happy with the result," Kaczmarek said.
Samuel Cooper had 19 points and Arthur Szwarc added 16 for Canada, which is set to play its final VNL match this season against China on Sunday.
