Mexico claims second victory in Pool C

TIJUANA, Mexico, July 6, 2010 – Mexico recorded its second victory in Pool C of the NORCECA Women’s Junior Continental Championship by defeating El Salvador 3-0 (25-13, 25-7, 25-8) in Tuesday’s last match. The home girls overcame a 0-4 start in the first set and never looked back dominating their opponents.  

Karla Sainz led Mexico with 11 points and Xitlali Herrera and Alejandra Isiordia added 9 and 8 respectively. El Salvador had Adriana Flores with 10 points.

“I think we improved our attitude against a very aggressive team of El Salvador in the first set and we are catching our rhythm in time to face the stronger teams of NORCECA starting with USA tomorrow,” Mexican Alfredo Bernal said. “We are going after the first place in our pool and that means we will try to win against USA.”

“We can see that we are not at the same level with some of the teams of NORCECA but tomorrow we will be going for a victory against Guadeloupe,” said Luis Santos, the assistant coach of El Salvador.
