Volero Zurich booked their second win at 2013 FIVB Women's Club World Championships on Friday defeating Kenya Prisons in straight sets.
The win for Zurich means that they are winners of Pool A and move on to Saturday's semi-finals, while it knocks the Kenyan's out of the tournament.
The two teams felt their way into the match slowly and they were level through 7-7 when the wheels came off for the Africans.
Outside hitters Kenia Carcaces and Olesia Rykhliuk started the Swiss offensive firework with some blistering winners from the wings.
Volero had the game under control and Nadja Ninkovic concluded the second set ball for Volero at 25-17.
The Swiss eased to an 8-2 lead at the first technical timeout with a couple of good shots from captain Natasa Osmokrovic and a nice block from setter Karine Guerra.
A Kenyan service error ended the second set 25-13 in Volero's favour.
The Kenyans didn't help their case early in the third set either, sending shots long or into the net, and Zurich cruised to an 8-1 lead at the first technical break.
The Europeans followed up with some spectacular play and it remained all one-way traffic until the third set and the match were sealed, 25-17, 25-13, 25-6.
