LIMA, Peru, May 9, 2015 – Argentina outclassed Peru in straight
sets 3-0 (25-13, 25-21, 25-19) in just 1 hour and 17 minutes in
day two at the Final Four U18 Gatorade Cup at Niño Heroe Manuel
Bonilla Coliseum of Miraflores.
Agostina Betramino scored 11 points to lead Argentina followed
by Anahí Tosí and María Corbalán with 10 points apiece.
The Argentineans led in attacks by an overwhelming difference of
31-14 and held an 8-6 advantage in blocks. The Peruvians led in
serving aces 8-2.
Mauro Silvestre, coach of Argentina, explained he started
working with these players three years ago and the fruits are
showing.
“They are not too tall so we reinforced in the strength of
character and consistency in serve and defense,” Silvestre said.
“We have worked hard to have very clear those fundaments and
that’s what we used today.”
Walter Lung, the coach of Peru said. “In today’s match we worked
with players who are not regulars and this allows us to have a
complete evaluation of the team. Despite the outcome, we have a
lot of room to grow and learn before the world championship
because the girls are in the process of adjustment to a new
coach and I know they have a lot of potential.” |
