St Lucia, St Vincent females jump ahead in ECVA Youth
ST JOHN’S, Antigua, April 17, 2014 - St Lucia and St Vincent and
the Grenadines both recorded wins on the opening day of the
female segment of the ECVA Youth Volleyball Championships.
St Lucia, first up, stopped French St Martin 3-1 (25-14, 25-16,
17- 25, 25-9).
.
Playing very aggressive from the first whistle, the St Lucians
despite a hiccup in the third set romped home comfortably in the
end.
Meanwhile, St Vincent and the Grenadines moved past the Antigua
and Barbuda in straight sets to win 3-0 ( 26-24, 25-23, 25-13).
However, St Vincent and the Grenadines had to come from a 10
point deficit at 20-10 to take the first set as Antigua and
Barbuda made some unforced errors.
It was a similar case in the second set as the Vincentians were
trailing by as many as seven points, before stamping their hold
on the match and the eventual outcome.
