 Canada claims easy win against Jamaica
GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala, April 27, 2010 – As
expected Canada had a walk in the park during
the opening day of the NORCECA Girls’ Youth
Championship by scoring an easy 25-10, 25-9,
25-15 victory against Jamaica.
The strong serves plus their better overall game
were the keys of the victory for the North
Americans in the match of Pool C.
Megan Festival led Canada with 13 points and
Carolyn O’Dwyer and Rachael Lynch added 9 and 6
points respectively.
“We were a little nervous at the beginning but
then we settled down and felt comfortable,” said
Megan Festival, the captain of Canada. “That was
the key for us.”
Coach Jesse Knight added: “I am happy that all
my players contributed. We felt the pressure of
the first match and also of getting used to the
rules of FIVB and NORCECA.”
Captain Patrice McLean of Jamaica said: “We
didn’t play very well, but we played well. I am
satisfied about what we did and we will improve
in our next matches.”
Coach O’Neill Ebanks added: “We can’t ask for
more. This is a learning and valuable tool for
us. We will improve. It can’t get worse.”
