LIMA, Peru, May 14, 2019 - From less to more was the performance
of Honduras, but it was not enough to stop the explosive team from
Cuba that got its second triumph in Pool B of the V Pan American
Cup U20 - Herbalife Cup.
The score in favor of Tomás Fernández's team was 25-4, 25-14,
25-19 in 1 hour 2 minutes of play at the Manuel Bonilla
Coliseum.
In the hands of their top scorers, Yaimaris García (15), Ivy
Vila (12) and Ailama Cese (11), Cuba took comfortable advantage in
attack (30-14) and service (25-3). Both teams registered 4 blocking
points and 16 unforced errors each.
Yaimaris García, top scorer of Cuba: For the second and third
set we reduced our rhythm of game, and the rival grew up. It is
something that we must continue working on, to keep focused and not
give as many points in unforced errors.
