Praise and Glory to GOD! We advanced to the semi-finals WOOHOOO! I am just so proud of my teammates. We are really playing as a team, fighting to win, and enjoying the process. That has been a main goal of ours, to take one point, one set, one match at a time and be in the moment. How awesome to come back from behind then command the fifth set. I hope it is as exciting for you fans of volleyball as it is for us. Don’t get me wrong there were some really tense moments but we were able to stay focus, keep the faith, stay patient and calm and not fall into a desparate state. The support it outstanding. Thanks.
Next up Cuba Rrrrrrrr!
GO USA!

Hi Mrs. Scott-Arruda
I just want to say I was so thrilled to see the team and you play such a great game. You guys had me on the edge of my seat!!!!! I am such a big fan of yours!!!! I’m fourteen and I play varsity volleyball for Notre Dame Academy in California. As I watch you, you motivate and inspire me to become the best volleyball player I can be =) You are strong, confident, inspiring, beautiful and such a team player, and being a black woman at the same time makes me respect you even more! Every time a USA volleyball game comes on I have to record it.( Thank the Lord for t’vo) But then its so funny because I have all these recording of the games and my mom is like ” You’ve seen them a hundred times so lets delete some” I’m like ” But Danielle is terrific on this game which is every game so we can’t delete any of the games.” My t’vo is almost full because all the games you play, but I’m not complaining =). So when the whole team is on the court I’m like go team, but like when you go on or make a play I’m like G0 DANIELLE YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It sad but also very true. As I watch you I always look at your form and technique to see what to do and not to do to perfect my skills. I can truly say that out of all my favorite athletes you are number 1 on my list =) I was wondering if you could like give me any advice you have on to become the best Middle Blocker I can be.
I know you are heckka busy, but if you could find time out of your busy sched to write me back I would surely appreciate it =)

So finally August 9 was the day that starts my fascination and amazement with not only you being a volleyball player but your personality and person wise.As I watch you, you motivate and inspire me to become the best volleyball player I can be =) You are strong, confident, inspiring, beautiful and such a team player, and being a black woman at the same time makes me respect you even more!

P.S.: if USA team gain gold medal, and u feel happy, i’ll feel happy too.
P.S.2: I’m watching the game versus Cuba at this moment… SO EASY!!!! (at second set)
Danielle, I just watched you and your teammates defeat Cuba and… wow!
It was a bumpy start, but you manage to take control of the game. Congrats!
Love you guys, and the men’s team too.
Of course, as I am Brazilian, I will be cheering for Mari, Paula and Cia. (if we defeat China). Our girls deserve that medal so much! But, anyway, it will be wonderful to see you guys play one more time in this Games. Especially because you are there. Tom and Berg are awesome as well.
Congratulations! Your team has advanced to the Finals!

An excellent win today….since 1984 is certainly good for USA Volleyball.
With God on my side, who can be against us.
You certainly stand out during the matches and it is definitely the Lord Jesus Christ.
Will be watching the Gold play-off and cheering for USA.
Warm congratulations!
Gold medal is waiting for you and ur teammates, I believe!
Admiring Lang Ping, so like you very much!
You played fairly well in battle to Italy.
On August 15, I was sitting in National Indoor Stadium. Proud of all of you, but not dare to call “go USA!” HAHA!!
From the very beginning, I believe in Lanp Ping, in every teammate of you.
YOU DESERVE THE GOLD MEDAL!!
The game to Italy was so fantastic!!!
It let me almost cry for your play and spirits, I wish I was there and watched that game with my own eyes.
Today you guys beat Cuba!!!

I am so proud of you guys and being your fans!!!
Go USA!! GO!!
