 HAVANA, Cuba.- Cuba defeated Costa Rica in straight sets (25-22, 25-15, 25-6) on Monday evening for their second victory in Pool B of the North, Central American and Caribbean (NORCECA) Women’s Olympic Volleyball Qualification Tournament that is underway in Tijuana, Mexico.
Yanelis Santos led the Cuban attack with 17 points —including 11 aces. Wilma Salas scored 10 units while Rosanna Giel, Yusidey Silie and Gyselle Silva contributed seven apiece.
