Brazil is the only unbeaten team

TIJUANA, Baja California, June 2, 2008.- Brazil is still unbeaten in Pool B of the Women’s Pan American Cup with one match to play in the preliminary round. The Brazilians defeated Peru 3-0 (25-11, 25-20, 25-22) on Monday.

 

Juliana Valengo and Natalia Martins each had 14 points for Brazil and Natalia Pereira added 10. Carla Rueda and Patricia Soto were the best attackers for Peru with 11 and 10 respectively.

 

“It was a helluva match for our team against a great Peruvian squad,” said Luizomar Moura. “I am looking forward to play against Cuba in our match of tomorrow.”

 

More than 2,000 spectators enjoyed the match between South Americans rivals.

 

Peru (2-2) showed little resistance in the first set but recovered to play good volleyball the rest of the way including being ahead a couple of times in the third set.
