<\/div>

Shifting to high gear in the latter part of the game, Iran served a sweet revenge to Australia in a 5-set thriller, 19-25, 25-18, 20-25 25-22, 15-10 to snatch the 9th place at the SMM 19th Asian Senior Women\u2019s Volleyball Championship on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s timely victory came sweeter as they not only managed to return the favor to Australia, a team that dealt them a 4-set loss in their Pool G match-up, but also salvage the best spot outside the Top 8 of the 14-team field.<\/p>\n

Though failing to qualify in the quarter-finals, Iran head coach Mirmostafa Shojaei was satisfied of their final ranking given the short preparation time he had to squeeze in when he took over the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came to coach Iran just two months ago, and I changed four or five players in favor of the young ones,\u201d said Shojaei. \u201cI think our team will be good next month in Thailand for the World Championship Asian Qualifier Pool B.\u201d<\/p>\n

Down 2 sets to one, the Iranians suddenly found vigor with Maedeh Borhani and Mahdieh Khajehkolaei providing the big lift as their combined 29 points completed the turn around to finish their campaign on a winning note.<\/p>\n

Mina Roosta was also pivotal their final match as her service aces in the second frame allowed Iran to erase a 14-16 disadvantage en route to stealing the set \u2013which proved to be the much-needed boost for the team in surviving the Aussies.<\/p>\n

Now with more time to implement his system, Shojaei sets sight of forming a competitive team that can compete against the top-tier squads of the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to be one of the top four teams in Asia so we inject young players,\u201d said the mentor. \u201cIn our point of view, we will have our best team in the next three or four years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Australia head coach Shannon Winzer, on the other hand, looks to instill consistency in her wards heading forward after crashing to 10th spot.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur game today is a good reflection of how we played in the entire tournament, very inconsistent,\u201d said Winzer.<\/p>\n

And to do that, Winzer hopes to continuously expose the Australian volleyballers in either professional or international competitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal in next Asian Championship would be inside the top 8 and for us to do that is to increase the number of players we can send overseas to improve their skills,\u201d she bared.<\/p>\n
