Aust women's volleyballers lose to Hungary

Australia's women's volleyballers have lost to Hungary at the World Grand Prix in Mexico.

Australia's women's volleyball team has suffered a loss to Hungary at the World Grand Prix in Mexico.

The Australians lost 3-1 on Sunday - their second consecutive defeat in the tournament.

Hungary won the opening two sets before the Australians took the third, only to lose the fourth set 25-19 to scuttle their bid for a first-ever grand prix win.

"We started flat and Hungary took advantage of that," coach Shannon Winzer said.

"We made some changes halfway through the third which put us back on the front foot but in the end we were still unable to withstand Hungary's pressure."

The Australians next meet Trinidad and Tobago on Monday morning AEST.
