Canada gets on winning track at women’s Volleyball Cup

Canada earned a split in its last two outings at the 22nd Women’s Pan-American Volleyball Cup from Colima, Mexico.

On Tuesday, the Canadians dropped a five-set heart breaker to Venezuela (25-12, 21-25, 23-25, 26-24 and 9-15).

The Canadians came out the gate hot taking the first game convincingly before dropping the next two sets in nail-biting fashion.

Canada fought back to win the fourth set 26-24 but fell short in the fifth and final stanza.

Madyson Saris of Burlington, Ontario led Canada with 18 points and 16 attacks. Saris played in the NCAA with Indiana University. Venezuela out blocked 10-6, while the Canadians led in attacks 60-58 and in serves 11-4.

PG’s Macyn Unger didn’t see any action in the loss.

Canada then rebounded this afternoon (Wednesday) with a three-set victory over Trinidad and Tobago (25-13, 25-17 and 25-13).

Toronto’s Raeven Chase tallied 16 points, eight attacks and six blocks for the 1-2 Canadians.

Unger was listed as one of Canada’s Liberio’s but didn’t draw in.

Canada concludes round-robin play tomorrow (Thursday) against the undefeated Dominican Republic (3-0).
