Mexico beat El Salvador in straight sets

 

LIMA, Peru, June 17, 2011 – Mexico beat El Salvador in straight sets (25-13, 25-8, 25-11) for its second victory in Pool A of the 1st U-20 Women’s Pan American Volleyball Cup.

 

In the shortest match of the first two days (55 minutes) the Mexicans took good advantage of the 23 errors of their opponents and their offense was led by Samantha Bricio with 14 points, the only player with double figures in the match. For El Salvador, Andrea Manzur had seven.

 

Requested by the media, Bricio said “these two games have served for our team-work toward the U-18 World Championship in Turkey.”

 

Salvadorian Gabriela Soriano said “it is an honor to face teams of high level and here we get a valuable experience for the future.”

 

Cuban Victor Garcia, coach of Mexico, said “we came here to prepare and compete, but if we win it is much better despite we have a team of a lower age level. The team of El Salvador is very new, but that’s the way to start, and it is vital play and play to reach higher levels.”

 

His fellow countryman Juan Andres Leon, coach of El Salvador, said “we explained over there about the importance of a logistic support if we want to develop volleyball.”
