Venezuela scores easy victory over Honduras

 
PANAMA CITY, Panama, June 23, 2011 – Venezuela crushed Honduras in straight sets (25-3, 25-7, 25-9) in a match of Pool A of the U-21 Men’s Pan American Volleyball Cup.

Kevin Piñerua scored 11 points and Daniel Arteaga had 10 to lead the Venezuelan side while Ricardo Vásquez had five points for Honduras.

Venezuela’s coach Idolo Herrera and the captain Carlos Paez both said afterwards that despite the result they respected an opponent that is looking to get more experience and now they are thinking about Panama.

Evans Torres, the coach of Honduras, said the game was a lot different than the day before when they met Panama, an opponent of the same level “because the Venezuelans were superiors by far.”

Captain Jose Vásquez said: “One positive about this game is that we learned a lot for the future.”
