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.
