For those of you who missed out on the opening match of the 2010 Norceca Junior Championships featuring UBC men's team libero Ian Perry, here is a a brief re cap.
Canada opened their NORCECA men’s junior volleyball championships with a 3-1 win over Guatemala on August 17th at the Gatineau Sports Center in Quebec. Guatemala was a short but scrappy and hardworking team that battled throughout the match, but it was evident Canada was the better team. After going up 2-0, Guatemala fought back and won the 3rd set and looked in control in the 4th backed by consistent attacking from their freak left side, Flores who was unstoppable all night. However, Canada showed heart and clawed back winning the final set 26-24 with some tough serving. UBC’s own Ian Perry played very well in his debut. He sparked the tight first set win with two highlight reel digs on Mr. Flores which were transitioned into points for Canada. Perry continued his great play throughout the whole match providing consistent passing, great court presence and a handful of international level digs. Shouts out to Nicholas Hoag. The young phenom was very impressive and led Canada’s balanced attack.
Tune in Aug 20th as Canada has now advanced to the semi finals!
Go get em boys!
