María González and Allanis Navas Unstoppable:
Claim Their Seventh Gold Medal of the Season
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, November 30, 2025.– Puerto Ricans María González
and Allanis Navas once again delivered a standout performance on the
sand, capturing their seventh gold medal of the 2025 NORCECA Beach
Volleyball Tour after defeating Mexico’s Susana Torres and Atenas
Gutiérrez 2-0 (21-15, 21-18) in Managua.
With
an impenetrable defense and a serve that consistently disrupted the
Mexican offense, González and Navas reaffirmed their dominance over
Torres/Gutiérrez. González stood out with decisive blocks, while
Allanis showcased her remarkable defensive talent, “flying” across
the sand to save balls that seemed impossible against Atenas’
powerful hits and Susana’s attacks.
To
reach the final, González/Navas solidly defeated the United States’
Katherine Reilly/Maya Gessner 2-0 (21-18, 21-15). Meanwhile, Torres/Gutiérrez
advanced after a hard-fought battle against Canada’s Devin Corah/Tiadora
Miric, winning 2-1 (21-14, 19-21, 15-12).
In
the bronze-medal match, Reilly/Gessner defeated Corah/Miric 2-0
(21-12, 21-15).
