GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala, April 28, 2010 –
Hosts Guatemala scored a straight set victory
over El Salvador (25-21, 25-18, 25-19) in a Pool
B battle between Central American rivals in the
NORCECA Girls’ Youth Championship.
The home team outscored their opponents in the
service category 10-3 and that was a key for the
victory on Wednesday.
Leticia Alarcon topped the winners with 10
points and Maria Andreu, Evelin Sanchez and
Joselyn Rodas contributed to the victory with 9,
8 and 7 points respectively.
“It was a very close match and in my opinion the
difference was in our team play strategy. We
played together and followed the instructions of
our coach,” said Ada Villalobos, the captain of
Guatemala.
“We were a little anxious at the beginning and
we had some problems to get started but everyone
did their job,” said Sanchez.
Julio Dominguez, the coach of Guatemala, said:
“The tactic discipline was the key and our
serves worked very well tonight.”
