KEY POINTS:
The US women's volleyball team, playing in their second match of an emotionally draining Olympics, lost to Cuba in three sets.
Cuba, ranked third in the world, overpowered the US 25-15, 26-24, 25-17 and are up 2-0 in preliminary round play. The US were even at 1-1.
The US volleyballers are reeling from the fatal stabbing of Todd Bachman, father of former Olympian Elisabeth "Wiz" Bachman McCutcheon and father-in-law of the US men's coach, Hugh McCutcheon.
Bachman was attacked by a knife-wielding man at a tourist site in Beijing on Saturday.
