MANAGUA, Nicaragua, October 23, 2021 - Costa
Rican libero, María José Castro, was chosen as
the Most Valuable Player of the XXI Central
American Senior Women's Volleyball Cup, helping
her team to get the 15th title in a row.
Castro came out with the distinctions of Best
Libero, Best Reception and Best Defense,
confirming her good level that led her the best
defense title of the NORCECA Senior Continental
Championship held in Mexico a few weeks ago.
Costa Rica dominated eight of 12 individual
awards, with Karen Cope as the 1st best outside
hitter, Julissa Rodríguez 2nd middle blocker,

Espinoza the besterver.
María Alvarez of Guatemala was the best setter
and her teammate Rut Gómez, the 2nd best
outsider hitter; Dalia Conto of Nicaragua, was
the 1st middle blocker best blocking and Sherika
Burton of the best scorer.
“I am very proud and satisfied with the awards,
I was not really expecting them. It is a reward
for the effort and sacrifice that all the
players make, every year we make a great effort
to go to train, sometimes we don't even spend
time with the family to play volleyball and be
able to perform in this sport, but all the
sacrifice is worth it", said the 20-year-old
Castro.
"In general we managed to get the matches one by
one, all difficult, but we prepare for that, I
feel happy and satisfied with my team," added
