Brazil was unbeaten in Pool A

 
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, July 16, 2007.- Host Brazilians finished unbeaten in three outings after defeating Mexico 3-0 (25-16, 25-15 y 25-17) in Pool A of the women’s volleyball tournament of the Pan American Games.

 

By finishing first, Brazil now will meet in the semi finals with the second team of Pool B to be decided by the match between USA and Cuba later on Monday.

 

“I don’t have a favourite rival, both are good teams,” commented Jose Roberto Guimaraes, the Brazilian coach who used replacement players after the first set. “I took the opportunity to test my team and to confirm on what I have for the rest of the event.”

 

The best Brazilians was Sheila Castro with 20 points and Thaisa Menezes and Erika Coimbra had 11 and 10 respectively. Once again Migdalel Ruiz led Mexico with 13 and Martha Revuelta had 12.
