The only player to reach the 30-point mark in the VNL so far, Belgian outside hitter Britt Herbots was the most productive player in the first two days of the event. The top scorer of last year’s edition of the VNL registered 31 points against Serbia, but was unable to help Belgium avoid a 3-1 defeat against the reigning world champions. Dutch opposite Celeste Plak, who scored 24 points in her team’s 3-1 defeat to China, and new Japanese captain Sarina Koga, who led her team in their sweep of rivals Korea with 22, were the second and third best scorers in the first two days of the VNL.
