PRISCILA BOSIO SCORES 21, AS ARGENTINA DEFEATS PERU IN THE SEMIFINALS

The Argentinean captain had an amazing
night in a classical South American battle.

TIJUANA, Mexico, July 7 2011.—  Priscila Bosio scored 21 points, as Argentina defeated Peru 3-1 (25-21, 24-26, 25-22, 25-15) to get the ticket to the finals at the Girls’ U18 Pan American Cup.

Along with Bosio, Natalia Cendan converted 10 units, followed by Antonela Fortuna with 9. On the Peruvian side, Milagros Rodriguez finished with 11, while Reyna Orellano and Izabot Bravo tallied 10 each one.

“This was not a very nice match for us, maybe because of the lack of International experience on our side and some injuries, I think everything about that really affected us”, said Rodriguez.

“We had some moments when We were down in th escore, but we knew how to solve them to win”, stated Bosio.  Peruvian coach Manuel Artieda, mentioned that the service reception and lack of concentration on the last set were some factor that influenced on the result.

“I think We must go on and work harder to get that International experience, like the one showed like Argentina”, He said.

Argentinean coach Guillermo Caceres was cleared when he stated: “We played against a team with too much order, and who knows how to play volleyball, but we closed with many spikes”.

Argentina was waiting for the winner of the match between Mexico and Dominican Republic, while Peru will play for the bronze medal this friday.
