They are probably the most physical team in this tournament. It was good to see us respond and handle the different op ons, the different lineups that they threw at us. Some of our players served really well. It was good to see. We’ve spent a lot of me on it.” United States Team Captain Kelly Reeves: “I thought we played a lot be er today (than yesterday). Yesterday, it was our first game. There were li le ji ers. I thought we came out here today and executed. We watched film last night. We did everything David told us to do. We passed well. Se ers ran in-system and it was just a great win for us today.” Panama Head Coach Reynaldo Ortega: “It’s the first me we have played against the USA. Even though this is not their main team, it’s an honor to play against them. We are proud of the effort we showed against them. The objec ves for tomorrow will be to adjust our receiving line, work on our high blocks and pu ng up a strong a ack against Guatemala.” Panama Captain Joanna Arroyo: “It was a tough match. We tried to do the best we could at the moment we had the ball. We knew going in that the USA is a team that has a lot of experience. The thing that probably hurt us the most was our blocking. We had a poor block on the outside. We think we can adjust it and win tomorrow against Guatemala and get a chance to play the USA again.”

We lost a li le confidence in the third set, and our performance went down as a result. But it’s the unity of the group and the mentally going forward that we had to get serious. We are excited for the next match.” Guatemala Captain Diana Arias: “It’s amazing that the diﬀerence was only five points. We were not sure we were going to win when we first started. Honduras is a very unified team, and they were resilient, but our team stuck together and we pulled through with the win.” Honduras Captain Estela Duron: “Today was be er than yesterday. We were more concentrated today and had more enthusiasm. The only diﬀerence was ending the games and keeping the advantage in points.

It will be a great experience to play with a team that has that kind of reputa on. We expect to play our best and learn from them.”
