MANAGUA, Nicaragua, December 11, 2015 – Costa Rica (4-0) defeated Belize in straight sets (25-14, 25-20, 25-15) to continue unbeaten at the XVI Women’s U20 Central American Championship.

 

Mariana Rodriguez, the Captain of Costa Rica, was the top scorer with 13 points, followed by Allison Font with 8. Diego Kori and Mya Musa each had five points for Belize.

 

Costa Rica led in attacks 30-16 and serves 12-4 while both team recorded five blocks. Belize gave away 28 points via errors to 24 by Costa Rica.

 

Mariana Rodriguez, Captain of Costa Rica: “Sometimes we have the mentality that the next game is an easy one and don’t take care of the technical part, we are too relaxed and decrease in our intensity. We have talked about it. The emotional part affected us in this match and we will try to correct that in the matches of tomorrow and Sunday.”

 

Juel Lewis, Captain of Belize: “I think we are a better team and have to stand up and leave this one in the past. We need to improve the preparation and give the best of ourselves. In the second set we tried to increase our attitude, but it was really complicated.”
