ST JOHN’S, Antigua, May 9, 2016 – Amanda Sylves won the most coveted individual title of the ECVA Youth Female competition that ended in on Sunday 8th May as she was voted the Most Valuable Player.

She was adjudged the best spiker with 47 kills, 10 ahead of Antigua’ Joseanne Lewis. Her blocks were superlative as she recorded 17 in the tournament. Second place in this department went to Britney Gore of Antigua with 12.

However what gave Syves the edge was her overall scoring. In addition to leading in spikes and blocks she also had a whopping 17 points from the service line to tally a total of 81 points.

Meanwhile it was noted Antigua/Barbuda and St. Martin took home the majority of the individual awards.

Of the 11 awards both teams shared eight between them. St. Martin’s Middle Blocker Amanda Sylves accounted for 3 for St. Martin the winners, while Antigua’s Rochelle Boyer got three individual awards as well - Best Digger, Best libero and Best Receiver which reflected the hard work she did throughout the tournament.

The best Outside Hitter went to Joseanne Lewis of Antigua while the Best Opposite went to Shaunese  Hous of St. Eustatius.

Aryel Leonard of St. Lucia was by far the Best Server and no one was close to Antigua’s Aliya’s Alfred in the setting department.
