The U.S. Junior Men improved on their eighth-place finish in 2005 and equaled their seventh-place performances in 1977 and 1981.
Brazil won its third men's junior world title by defeating defending champion Russia in the championship match, 3-0.
Incoming freshman Kevin Carroll saw action in all four games, but did not record a point.
Prior to the Cuba match, the U.S. fell to Bulgaria 3-0 (24-26, 20-25, 22-25). Carroll recorded five points while UCI sophomore outside hitter Cole Reinholm added one point.
