Argentina sweeps Peru at Gatorade Cup

 

   

LIMA, Peru, May 9, 2015 – Argentina outclassed Peru in straight sets 3-0 (25-13, 25-21, 25-19) in just 1 hour and 17 minutes in day two at the Final Four U18 Gatorade Cup at Niño Heroe Manuel Bonilla Coliseum of Miraflores.

 

Agostina Betramino scored 11 points to lead Argentina followed by Anahí Tosí and María Corbalán with 10 points apiece.

 

The Argentineans led in attacks by an overwhelming difference of 31-14 and held an 8-6 advantage in blocks. The Peruvians led in serving aces 8-2.

 

Mauro Silvestre, coach of Argentina, explained he started working with these players three years ago and the fruits are showing.

 

“They are not too tall so we reinforced in the strength of character and consistency in serve and defense,” Silvestre said. “We have worked hard to have very clear those fundaments and that’s what we used today.”

 

Walter Lung, the coach of Peru said. “In today’s match we worked with players who are not regulars and this allows us to have a complete evaluation of the team. Despite the outcome, we have a lot of room to grow and learn before the world championship because the girls are in the process of adjustment to a new coach and I know they have a lot of potential.”
