USA golden at U21 Pan Am Cup
Calgary, Aug. 10, 2025: The United States won gold over Team Canada
today at the 2025 NORCECA U21 Men’s Pan American Cup at the 7 Chiefs
Sportsplex & Chief Jim Starlight Centre near Calgary, Alberta,
Canada. USA won 3-1 (26-24, 25-21, 22-25, 25-18) in front of a crowd
cheering for their young Canadian squad, who pick up a silver medal.
In the final today, attack points were equal at 44 and blocks
favored USA 11-7. Canada had one more ace than USA (3-2) but made
more errors (41-34). Head coach of Team USA, John Hawks, commented:
“Today’s match was a bit ugly, from the service line both teams
missed a lot of serves, and there were other battles … But this is
why we came here – It was great preparation for us before the
Worlds. Playing in front of a great crowd, playing a great team and
I think the best team won today. We played consistent all tournament
and made a lot of progress. The confidence is there and we’re ready
to go to China (for the Worlds)."
