This Thursday they will face the United States to define the leader of group A, since both teams are undefeated with successes over Suriname and the Canadians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lian Sem Estrada’s students overcame a two-set deficit against a team that surpassed them in blocks (11-17) and in service points (5-7). However, the Island team led the attack (54-45), and although they made two more errors than their rival (39-37), they took advantage of the timely and effective changes to seal the duel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The opposite Yosdani Medina was the top scorer of the hard-fought challenge with a large number of 28 points (27 of them from attacks), while the corner players Aessandro Gonz\u00e1lez and Samuel A. Rodr\u00edguez contributed nine and eight points, in that order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Canada, corner player Reuben Veith scored 21 points (12 attacks, six blocks, three serves) and opposite number Luke Wright 12 (8-2-2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lian Sem told the Norceca website that \u201cthe game was complicated at the beginning because it was the first time they faced a higher level team. The players knew how to follow the coaches’ instructions and went out to fight for the game. “What we did better than Canada was combativeness and determination.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For his part, Dan Ota, Canada’s coach, said that \u201cit was a much better performance than yesterday. “I am very proud of this team, which is only playing its second match together, for having put pressure on Cuba, a very strong country in volleyball and which showed its quality in the second half of the match, being difficult to stop.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
