ST JOHN’S, Antigua/Barbuda, May 15, 2016- St. Lucia survived a
scare from St. Vincent and the Grenadines (Team SVG) to
eventually win 3-1(18-25, 25-10, 25-11 and 29-27) in the bronze
medal match of the ECVA Youth Males Competition.
The entire game took just over an hour and a half but set 4
lasted 39 minutes and this proved to be the most eventful game.
Team SVG suffered the loss of 8 points and paid the price by
giving up two more penalty points for having an illegal player
enter the floor. So after leading 8-2, the game reset had team
SVG trailing 4-0.
They remained undaunted and clawed back from a huge deficit to
lead the game on numerous occasions. St. Lucia had to call on
their main attacker (Levi Leonce) to pull them through in the
end.
Leonce ended with a game high 16 points and got some assistance
from setter Andrew Marquis and Outside Hitter Joshua Hinkson who
both contributed 8 points to the victory.
On the losing side a 10 point effort from middle blocker Maxie
Dublin was the best effort from Team SVG.
St. Lucia dominated the team score sheet with 28 Kills, 8 blocks
and 8 service aces while Team SVG had 18 kills 4 blocks and 4
service aces. |
