Script:

The opening day of the Women's Club World Championships continued in Switzerland on Wednesday.

In Pool A Asian champions Guangdong Evergrande of China took on Africa title winners Kenya Prisons.

The Asians jumped out for a 16-9 lead in the middle of the first set.

However, Lang Ping's players experienced more difficulties as expected to stop the powerful Kenyan hitters at the start of the match. Mercy Moim and Everlyne Makuto repeatedly found gaps in Evergrande's defence.

US national team player Megan Hodge secured her squad a 25-14 first set win with two remarkable hammers through the African defence.

Kenya Prisons still struggled with passing early in the second set.

At the second technical break, the Chinese already led 16-6.

The best outside hitter from 2013 FIVB World Grand Prix, Zhu Ting, led her team to an undisputed 25-11 win in the second set.

The Kenyan's did their utmost but could not prevent the favourites from China taking the win.

After one hour, Mercy Moim hammered long to offer Guangdong Evergrande the third set at 25-13 and the match 3:0.
