Mexico outclasses Guatemala for first win
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, August 21, 2012. - Mexico outclasses
Guatemala 3-0 (25-11, 25-11, 25-3) for their first win in Pool B
at the NORCECA Women’s Junior Continental Championship.
The Mexican squad had no opposition from the Central American
champions and had no mercy with 12 aces and a 9-2 advantage in
blocking as each team must add the most number of points as
possible in the preliminary round.
Mexico had in its captain Alejandra Isiordia with 14 points its
top scorer followed by Lizbeth Sainz with 10 points and for
Guatemala Lorena Valle with 3 points was the best scorer.
Isiordia indicated “we’ve been training very hard for the last
six months preparing ourselves for this tournament and we´re
happy with this result.”
“We were prepared for a strong match without taking in account
that we didn’t apply well, but we’ll keep on fighting to
improve” said Ada Villalobos captain of Guatemala.
Estanislao Vacino argentinian coach for Mexico was sincere in
accepting that they weren’t going to give away any points and
that’s why they were relentless “our expectation is to qualify
for the world championship, we did it already in the U-19
category, the first and second set were good, but in the third
our most efficient weapon our serve, appeared”.
Coach Julio Dominguez of Guatemala expressed “we need more
international exposure to improve, my team isn’t even the shadow
of what they appeared to be today, they were very anxious, but
we must be more disciplined in our receive so we’re able to add
points.” |
