AFECAVOL: GUATEMALA 2025 – VOLEIBOL
The Honduran squad benefited from 30 Panamanian errors, led in attacks 35-27 and in service points 4-2; both teams scored six points on blocks.
Victoria Aparicio led Honduras with 12 points, followed by María Fernanda Merino with 11.
Honduran coach Marvin Ulloa said: “I had to speak a little harshly because I think the team relaxed too much yesterday, and we shouldn’t have lost that match. Yes, we’re missing some players, but those who are here and training must be strengthened. We brought four girls from the U19 category, and I expect good results for the upcoming AFECAVOL event in a few days. Fortunately, with some words, they managed to perform well.”
Panama’s coach Reynaldo Ortega said: “We didn’t achieve the results we expected; we came looking for a spot on the podium. I’m proud of the girls for their effort and hard work. If God allows, we’ll keep working for the future—there’s potential.”
