Uruguay was no match to Peru

 

COLIMA, Mexico, June 25, 2007.- Peru got its second win in Pool B of the Women’s Pan American Cup by rolling past Uruguay 25-14, 25-18, 25-13 in a match between South Americans.

 

The Peruvians overmatched their opponents 13-1 in the blocking category and the comfortable margin during the whole contest allowed Coach Enio Figueiredo to use his reserve players.

 

Patricia Soto led Peru with 9 points and Jessenia Uceda, Yulissa Samudio and Leyla Chihuan each contributed 7 tallies. Florencia Aguirre topped Uruguay with 14.

 

“Today I had the chance to use the reserve players and they did well,” said Figueiredo. “We are in a rebuilding process and the Pan American Cup has been a good competition to do some testing.”

 

Rafael Codina, the coach of Uruguay said: “They controlled us in the middle and everybody knows the kind of team Peru is, so we only need to keep working and learning from this experience.”
