Sofía Solano, captain of Belize: “We are very happy, the whole team is happy, I am very excited, it is incredible, tomorrow will be a great game against Guatemala, it is exciting to think about that match, but we will try to get a victory again. Every game has been difficult, I think we’ve been growing, we’ve done it, because the demands have also increased”.
José Fontes, coach of Belize: “It is a team that has been growing in the competition, the level of demand I have always kept very high, we always demand them from the first point to the last. Guatemala is a great team, tomorrow will be a game worthy of the gold medal dispute”.
Marvin Ulloa, coach of Honduras: “I think that in the first set we played well as always, but we were not successful with the serves; many mistakes of our own that made the difference, we trained for that, but there are still things to improve. I think that Belize was not completely superior, we fought and we will continue working”.
Belize will face Guatemala at 7:30 p.m. at the Belize Civic Center and the winner gets the gold medal. Honduras meets Nicaragua at 5:00 p.m. this Saturday and the winner secures the bronze medal.
