The Vietnamese women's team jumped to third place at the end of the VTV Sun Group Women's Volleyball Cup 2011 after beating the Democratic People's Republic of Korea 3-0 in Dak Lak Province Saturday.

Third place came as a nice surprise as the Vietnamese women had lost 1-3 to Korea in the qualifying round three days earlier.

In the final match, the Japanese student team, who beat Vietnam 3-1 in the semifinals, proved how strong they were by defeating Beijing in straight sets to win the championship.
