Costa Rica secures
bronze at AFECAVOL U23
PANAMA CITY, Panama, July 30,
2016 – Costa Rica secured third place at the U23 Men’s Central
American Championship by defeating El Salvador 3-1 (25-15,
25-16, 14-25, 25-14), in their last outing in the competition.
Costa Rica was the first to
complete its six matches (they rest on Sunday) and is
mathematically out of reach for the teams behind them. They will
have to wait for the result of the match between Panama and
Guatemala to see if they have option for the second place.
The blocking and spikes of Costa
Rica were the keys for the victory, overwhelming El Salvador
12-2 and 40-29, respectively, while both teams finished with 9
aces. |
