Young guides below par T&T past Bahamas
TACARIGUA, TRINIDAD, December 5, 2013 - Captain Reann Young was
the lone player in double-figure scoring as two-time defending
champions T&T overcame a below-par showing to beat debutants
Bahamas in their opening match of the 2013 Caribbean Zonal
Volleyball Association (CAZOVA) Girls Youth (Under-18)
Championship at the Eastern Regional Indoor Sports Arena.
Playing before their home crowd, the Calypso Spikers were
expected to come away easy winners and coasted to a comfortable
25-14, 25-16, 25-21 victory in 61 minutes.
For T&T, Young one of five players in the squad who were part of
the silver medal winning team at the Under-20 Championships in
Martinique had a match-high 13 points, comprised of 11 spikes
while Kaylon Cruickshank, another Under-20 team member, Amber
Commissiong and Sarah Low all got eight points each.
But despite the win, T&T coach Macsood Ali may not have been a
happy man as his team committed too many errors, 33 to the
Bahamians 34, while it dominated on spikes and aces, 21-6 and
18-8 respectively.
On the other hand, Serena Brown top scored for Bahamas with
seven points while the trio of Robyn Porter, Alexandria Pinder
and Alice Roberts got two each. |
