Costa Rica secures bronze at AFECAVOL U23

 

PANAMA CITY, Panama, July 30, 2016 – Costa Rica secured third place at the U23 Men’s Central American Championship by defeating El Salvador 3-1 (25-15, 25-16, 14-25, 25-14), in their last outing in the competition.

 

Costa Rica was the first to complete its six matches (they rest on Sunday) and is mathematically out of reach for the teams behind them. They will have to wait for the result of the match between Panama and Guatemala to see if they have option for the second place.

 

The blocking and spikes of Costa Rica were the keys for the victory, overwhelming El Salvador 12-2 and 40-29, respectively, while both teams finished with 9 aces.
