This study investigates college female volleyball players' performance in attack after defense. Methods: The subjects are 53 college female volleyball players from the top four teams in the finals of the 2007 College Women's Volleyball Tournament. The process of the competitions is video-recorded for further analysis. Results: The teams with better ranks also perform better in blocking over the net and in blocking the returned spikes. Although the four teams significantly differed in opportunity (p<.05), the teams with higher ranks perform better than those with lower rank in defense performance. The failure rate in block defensive of B is more frequent than that of A and C. But the performance of B in blocking the ball and counter-attack after defense is superior and compensates its shortcoming in the failure rate and thus reduced their differences. The counter-attack after blocking and the attack after defense of A is better than those of C. It shows that the better performance in blocking the ball and counter-attack of A influences the later outcome in attack after defense. As to the winner of the second place, B, the failure rate for counter-attack after receiving chance-ball is higher than that of the other teams. In the future they should promote the performance in counter-attack, and take advantage of attacking in the chance-ball, thus strengthen and help the performance in the competition. The fact that the relation between the effect in defense after blocking and attack after blocking and the order of the ranks in a tournament is quite manifest. The failure rates of libero players at receiving smashes show great difference and the greater frequency of failure in B team indicates that the receiving after smashes of their libero players has room to be improved. Conclusion: The success or failure in defense and attack after blocking is in proportion with the result of the ranks. A series of counter-attacks near the end of the game can help to change the situation and win the game; the more and better counter-attacks mean the more real attacks and constant attacks places a team in a favorable position in a game. The subject of this study; A ranks number one in its defense, counter-attacking and consequently in the first placement. Without defense, counter-attacking would be difficult to exert; good defense gives opportunity for attacking and thus one complements the other.
