Antigua remains undefeated with win over St. Vincent and the
Grenadines
St. JOHNS, Antigua, September, 10, 2016 – Antigua/ Barbuda
female senior team bagged another victory to make to two in a
row as round robin games of the ECVA World Cup Qualifying
tournament Group B women came to a close
The victory was against St. Vincent and the Grenadines in
straight sets – 25 -19, 25-11 and 25 -21. The makeup of those
points for Antigua/Barbuda showed 30 from Spikes, 8 from Blocks
and 4 from the service line. St. Vincent on the other had had 11
Kills, 2 Blocks and 7 service points.
With only three teams in the competition it meant that
Antigua/Barbuda goes into the finals undefeated while St.
Vincent goes home.
Assistant Coach Henry Matthew was oozing with confidence at the
end of the game. ”We are well on course to achieving our main
objective and that is to come out on top and move on to the next
round. The girls had a comfortable all round game with
improvement in the service area when compared to the first game.
In the third game we tried to use some of our younger players
who are just coming into the team but we were in control
throughout “, he stated
The statistics on the individual scoresheet support Matthew’s
claim of a good all-round game. The offense was spread so that
Nyota Peters scored 11 Naheemah Wilson and Sharon Payne each had
9 while Kwansia Carr chipped in with 7.
Cluevvan Cumberbach was still down in the mouth. “ Of course I
am a little bit disappointed and a little down right down as we
did not even come away with a win. Our girls played hard so they
will be sad not to have one on further. We definitely have to
double our efforts in preparation for these tournaments”, he
said.
None of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines players had a score
worthy of note
The finals of the female ECVA World Cup Qualifier will be
between Grenada and Antigua /Barbuda to be held on Sunday 11th |
