SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, September 9,
2022 – In a very intense match, Canada managed
to overcome the Mexican team and thus stay with
the fifth position of the Final Six of the
NORCECA Pan American series.
The Canadians had to
battle through five sets to defeat the Mexico team
3-2 (23-25, 25-23, 25-19, 15-25, 16-14) to
achieve the result obtained.
For Canada, the best were Melissa Langegger and
Natasha Calkins with 16 points each, while
Mexico had Aime Topete as their best scorer with
20.
Carolyn O´Dwyer, coach of
Canada: I
think the match was a Little bit like a roller
coaster for both teams having up and downs in
the hole game of course I´m happy that ended up
with a
win for us and that we showed up that we are a
team that can win games.
Rafael Petry, coach of Mexico: In
general, the game was very close, just like the
previous one, both teams today were very
similar, except for the sets in which both teams
were under 20 points. I think that the first
ball cost us a little more to be able to kill
that first play action, I think that was the
determining factor of the match. |
