Dulce Carranza, captain of Mexico: “Today we played much better than in the previous matches, but it was not enough. We were close to win the sets but we missed determination and had some back luck also.”

 

Jose Mieles, coach of Puerto Rico: “Today we faced an opponent that surpassed its previous performances. It has been an intense match and we gave playing opportunity to a big part of our squad because we are looking for regularity of our group.”

 

Jorge Miguel Azair, coach of Mexico: “Today the little experience of my setters was decisive in the most important parts of the match. Despite of the result I admit that my team is young but it is showing growing progress.”
