Canada takes straight-sets win over Bulgaria in men's Volleyball Nations League

The Canadian men's volleyball team scored their second victory at the Volleyball Nations League stop in Antalya, Turkey, taking a straight-sets win (25-22, 30-28, 26-24) over Bulgaria on Friday.

In a post-game interview, Canada's Fynn McCarthy said despite winning in straight sets, the Bulgarians weren't an easy opponent – which was a benefit for the Canadians.

"It wasn't an easy match for us," MCCasrthy said. "[Bulgaria] gave us push back but we worked through some difficult moments which I think was great for the team and for me as an individual.

"It's just great to get this win."

Canada is now 2-1 in VNL play after Tuesday's win over hosts Turkey, and Thursday's loss to top-ranked Poland.

Canada next plays Slovenia on Saturday at 7 a.m. ET, which will be streamed live on CBCSports.ca, the CBC Sports app, and on CBC Gem.

The 12th-ranked Canadians have already qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics after a second-place performance in the Olympic Qualifier pool last year.
