France resisted the reigning Olympic champions from the USA, who had only three points and were looking for a mandatory win to advance.

Under the watchful eye of our top referee Ivalo Ivanov, who was the first referee of the match, the hosts played perhaps their best game. The French women had no chance for the quarterfinals, but offered serious resistance. In both the first and second sets, the hosts equalized twice at the end of the sets, which ended with a score of 25:27. In the third set, the Americans failed to build a significant lead, but sealed their progression to the quarterfinals, closing the set with 20:25, and with that, the match. The most effective scorer for the winners was Andrea Drew with 15 points, Ogobogu added 13 points (3 blocks and 2 aces). For France, Halimatou Bah scored 14 points (1 block and 1 ace).

Thus, coach-legend Karch Kiraly's girls finish the eliminations with 6 points, and the match between China and Serbia will determine who will finish first in Group C.
