USA defeated Argentina in four sets 

COLIMA, Mexico, June 21, 2007.- Cynthia Barboza led four Americans in double figures and USA defeated Argentina 17-25, 25-20, 25-23, 25-16 in a match of Pool A of the Pan American Cup.

Barboza totalled 16 points and Tracy Stalls and Katherine Wilkins each added 14 tallies for the triumph while Cassandra Busse contributed 11. Yamila Nizetich led Argentina with a dozen points and Antonela Bortolozzi and Leticia Boscacci scored 11 and 10 points respectively.

“We had some initial problems with our serves getting used to play at sea level,” said Lang Ping, the Chinese coaching USA. “The speed of the ball is different than in Colorado Springs. I am satisfied with the way the young girls played today showing their potential.”

Carlos DiLonardo, the coach of Argentina: “We played close to USA for the first part of the match but at the end it was obvious that they are a few steps ahead of us. But our match today gives us a lot of motivation.”
