Erika Araki scored a game-high 14 points to help Japan beat archrival South Korea in straight sets Saturday as the host won its second game in as many nights at the women's volleyball World Grand Prix.
Araki led Japan's attack early on and Mari Ochiai kept its momentum going after replacing an ineffective Kana Oyama midway through the second set in a 25-20, 25-20, 25-17 win at Ariake Colosseum.
