Rangel joins Aury Cruz in the 30-Point Club

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, October 13, 2019 – Mexican Andrea Rangel became the second player ever to score 30 or more points in a single match in the NORCECA Women’s Continental Championship since the Volleyball Information System (VIS) was implemented in 2001.

Rangel score 30 points in the victory of Mexico 3-1 (25-20, 25-20, 17-25, 25-22) over Cuba that earned the winners the last ticket to the NORCECA Tokyo 2020 Qualification Tournament next January in Santo Domingo.

Rangel joined Puerto Rican Aury Cruz in the exclusive 30-point club of the NORCECA Continental event which is disputed every two years.

Cruz twice has scored 32 points in a match, both times in five-set losses to the Dominican Republic. First on September 27 of 2009 and then exactly six years later on September 27 of 2015.

The announcement was made by Roosevelt Comarazamy, director of communications of NORCECA from Santo Domingo.

The sides to compete in the four-team qualifier are Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Dominican Republic.
