St. Lucia defeats Bermuda in straight sets
St. Johns, Antigua, August 16, 2018 – St. Lucia cruised to a 3-0
victory (25-9; 25-13 and 25- 9) over Bermuda in the curtains
game of opening night of the ECVA senior females competition.
The game was more of a no contest as the experienced St. Lucia
team had their way in all the categories of play.
St. Lucia outscored Bermuda 27 -7 in Spikes, 6- 1 in Blocks and
10 -1 from the service line. Added to that, St. Lucia earned 33
points from errors while only giving up 23.
Kerin Neptune led all scorers with 15 points which included 9
Spikes and 2 blocks and 5 aces. There were also modest
contributions from Yoshebel Emmanuel with 9 points and Lisa
Casimie with 8.
For team Bermuda Sy McPeek had 6 points while only 2 other
players managed to score.
Coach Blee of Bermuda was not dispirited however. “We knew
coming here that there will be some very tough games but this is
something we have to go through while rebuilding. Now that we
have gone passed that we have taken away a number of learning
nuggets and we intend to apply them in our next games,” she
stated.
Coach Chalery was unfazed. “Although it was relatively an easy
game I still wanted us to execute the game at a high standard,
we had a few lapses particularly in the second set but with
strong reminders we were able to refocus and stick to the game
plan”, he said.
St. Lucia’s next test is against Grenada on the 17th
while Bermuda plays St. Maarten. |
