As much as the first game of the Chinese Women’s volleyball Championship playoff finals was intense, so much the second match was not – No.2 Jiangsu swept top seed Zhejiang 3-0 (25-18, 25-14, 25-21).

By dominating in nearly every key segment of Game 2 at home, Jiangsu leveled best-of-five final series against Zhejiang at 1-1.

In blocking, Jiangsu were 13-5 ahead and 9-6 in serving. Jiangsu gave 12 points away due to errors, which was more than they got from Zhejiang – 10. Individually, two gold medalists in the 2016 Rio Olympics topped Jiangsu: Zhang Changning scored 16 points, Hui Ruoqi added 14. In Zhejiang, Li Jing collected 14 points, while Yang Zhou contributed with 10.

Game 3 is scheduled for March 14 with Jiangsu being the hosts again.
