Mexican Rivera threatened record of aces

AGUASCALIENTES, Mexico, August 13, 2021 - Mexican setter Karen Rivera fell one ace short of tying the mark for a single match in the history of the U-23 Women's Volleyball Pan American Cup on Friday.

Rivera landed 8 aces for all her points in Mexico's 3-0 victory over Puerto Rico to close the preliminary phase of the qualifying tournament for the Pan American Youth Games to be held in Cali, Colombia from November 25 to December 5 of this year.

The record of 9 aces in a match was set by Peruvian Angela Leyva in a match against Costa Rica on September 3, 2012 and later tied by Argentina's Elina Rodríguez against Trinidad & Tobago on September 22, 2016.

Rivera joined Cuban Regla Gracia in second place as scorers of 8 aces in one game. Gracia had her big day from the service line on September 8, 2014 against Costa Rica.
