Dominican Republic defeats Panama

 

PANAMA CITY, Panama, June 23, 2011 – Dominican Republic defeated Panama in three sets (25-18, 25-17, 25-19), in a game of Pool A at the U-21 Men’s Volleyball Pan American Cup.

 

Anaury Burgos and Henry Tapia were the best Dominicans with 19 and 14 points respectively while Pablo Quiel and Otto Otton each had 11 points for Panama.

 

Osiel Vásquez, the Dominican Republic’s coach said they could correct the errors made in the first match and improved their serves and blockis to defeat a team that was out of focus.

 

Panama’s coach Elliot Clark and the captain Quiel both said they made mistakes in the fundaments and the lack of concentration was evident. Nevertheless they still hope for a victory against Venezuela “a very tough opponent but one that we can defeat.”
