SAPPORO, Japan, Oct. 2 -- China booked a ticket to the second round of the FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship after hammering Canada 3-0 for their third straight win here Tuesday.

The scores of the three sets were 25-21, 25-21 and 25-13, respectively.

China's star spiker Zhu Ting got 14 points to lead the game. China's blocker Yuan Xinyue and Canada's Kiera Van Ryk also scored in double figures.

The two teams previously had four encounters in world-level championships, with China winning in straight sets each time.

But despite China's dominance on paper, the Canadians was resilient and brought a lot of troubles to the Chinese Olympic champions in the first two sets.

In the first set, Canada built an early lead, and China only overtook for the first time at 7-6. The two sides took turns to lead after that, and after tied 21-21, a string of four straight points thanks to Liu Xiaotong and Yan Ni helped China seal the victory.

In the second set, while China led 8-4 by the first technical timeout, Canada turned the tide 18-16 with spectacular blocking. With Li Yingying's serves, China caught up and went ahead with six straight points, and win the set 25-21.

The third set saw Canada losing their form and making a number of errors, which helped China seal the victory 25-13 with ease.

"Canada did well today. None of the teams that play the World Championship can be said to be strong or weak. It's just that some of the teams are more experienced," said China coach Lang Ping after the game.

"Every game is tense. What we need to do is to learn from each game and improve ourselves," she said.

China will play Bulgaria in their fourth Pool B match on Wednesday.
