BAYAMON, Puerto Rico, September 27, 2009 –
Canada scored a 25-22, 25-21, 25-19 victory over
Mexico and finished in the fifth position of the
NORCECA Women’s Continental Championship.
Tiffany Dodds (13), Brittney Page (11) and
Marisa Field (10) all scored in double figures
for the winning side. Mexican Cecilia Rios
topped all the players with 17 points and Grecia
Rivera added 12.
“I am happy with the fifth place,” said Arnd
Ludwig, the coach of Canada. “We are ahead of
teams like Mexico and Costa Rica and separated
behind the top four of NORCECA. Our goal in the
near future is to get closer to those teams.”
“We played five sets in our two previous matches
against Canada,” said Mexican Samuel Cibrian.
“Today they did a good job and complicated
things for us.”
“We got better with each match,” said Tammy
Mahon, the captain of Canada. “We had a good
time in Puerto Rico and the organizers did a
good job hosting the event.”
“We did our best effort and played well at the
start of every set but couldn’t keep the
consistency,” said Nancy Ortega, captain of
Mexico.
