Tegucigalpa, July 30, 2022.- Honduras remains
undefeated (3-0) by beating Panama 3-0 (25-10,
25-12, 25-14) in the closing of the third day of
the V Afecavol U23 Championship feminine.
The Panamanian team gave the hosts problems at
times, especially in the second set, in which
they stayed ahead even up to point 10, but
Honduras reacted in time to not let any points
slip away.
Honduras had Andrea Aceituno as its best
offensive weapon with 11 points, plus 10 from
Nathaly Pérez. The captain of Panama, Karla
Ortiz got 13 points. The Hondurans led attacks
32-16, blocking 9-4 and serving 13-4, while
Panama committed 21 errors to the winners' 12.
Andrea Aceituno, top scorer for Honduras: “I see
the group quite well, we are well equipped, we
have a good bench and a strong starting team, we
have worked hard to be able to play with teams
like Belize or Nicaragua, which are the ones to
come. I trust each of our teammates that we will
do a great job and, above all, follow the
coach's instructions”.
Marvin Ulloa, coach of Honduras: “The team has
been growing, we have worked for that; the games
that are coming are complicated, we will go step
by step… today against Panama, which seemed like
an easy team, we started badly and that is
difficult for us, it makes us do double work. We
can't do that with stronger teams, once we
started well, we managed to hold on until point
15 and sometimes we stopped there... we have to
see how to keep the pace of the game throughout
the game”.
Honduras rests this Sunday while Panama will
face Costa Rica at 7:00 p.m. |
