USA TO FACE CANADA AGAIN AFTER DEFEATING MEXICO
The USA U 21 Women's Pan Am Volleyball squad, with Cardinal star Payton Petersen on the roster goes for their fourth consecutive title when they face Canada today in Columbus, OH.
Mexico went down in straight sets Saturday to the USA 25-17, 25-11, 25-12. Mexico and the Dominican Republic will battle for third place.
USA has won four of the U21 Pan Am Cup titles -- in 2017. 2022, 2023 and 2025.
In the Mexico match, USA led in every statistical category -- including kills (42-20), blocks (14-3), and service aces (4-0)
USA is coached by Tama Miyashiro, who played her volleyball at the University of Washington and was on the U.S National team as well. Her comments on the win over Mexico.
"I'm very happy because we were able to put pressure on Mexico right from the start. I've been following their matches throughout the tournament and they have good players and out goal today was to neutralize their attack. I'm very proud o the determination out players showed and we are excited to be in the final."
Top scorers for USA against Mexico were Suliane Davis (10 points), Ayden Ames (9 points) and Henley Anderson (9 points) .
A boxscore for the Mexico match is seemingly the needle in the haystack, I could not find one after extensive search, so I have no numbers on how Payton Petersen did in the Mexico match..
