Brazil Beat Germany in Women's Volleyball Grand Prix

The Brazilian team, led by veteran Helia Souza, took the first two sets 25-20, 27-25 and seemed to likely to wrap up the match in straight sets.
But the Germans refused to give up and from the third set on they improved their block and forced the match into the decisive fifth set after they took the third and fourth sets 25-17 and 25- 22 respectively.
