USA remains undefeated in Final Six
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, August 24, 2023.- The United States
improved its record to 4-0 after defeating Cuba in straight sets 3-0
(25-20, 25-15, 25-19) in the NORCECA Pan American Cup Final Six that is
played in the Ricardo Gioriber Arias Volleyball Pavilion.
Logan Eggleston led the American attack with 14 points followed by
Madeleine Gates and Brooke Nuneviller each one of them with 10. For the
Cuban team Ivy Vila collected 9 points.
The United States outscored Cuba in spikes 38-27, in blocks 6-4 and in
serves 10-5.
Sarah Parsons, captain of the United States:
I think that in general our team did a good job, we prepared very well,
they put pressure on us at times but we knew how to stay calm and fight
back.
Grettel Moreno, captain of Cuba:
My opinion about the match is that perhaps Cuba could have presented
itself with a better form, reduce unforced errors and work a little more
on the attack. I feel that today the attack, which is one of our
strengths, is not handled very well. |
