For those that are not able to watch these matches, here are the five matches played so far. You can download from my dropbox (download only as watching these online uses a lot of bandwidth on my dropbox webpage). Enjoy! NORCECA Pan Am Cup 2017 Match Videos |

I just watched the first two sets of the USA-Argentina match. This is not as good as B1G volleyball. The passing is so bad! "How bad is the passing?" The passing is so bad, it looks like the setter is playing monkey in the middle. I was truly disappointed in the quality of play. If this is what 15 subs have have done to volleyball players, the NCAA needs to go back to 12 subs. Yikes! As I stated earlier in this thread. Micha is dealing with quite a few new players that I don't think have caught up the the speed of this level of play yet. I think that is why the bad passing so far that is making Micha and Carlini have to run all over the court. These women may have been the top of their class in college but many of them have a ways to go to catch up to the speed of this level of play. I hear you. I'm not faulting Micha or Wisconsin's former setter (WFS). These kids can't pass worth damn. I didn't see Megan Courtney in the backcourt. Some of them didn't play all-around in college and I'll be surprised if they're around for the next tournament. |

USA v Peru today... Peru is the home team, and it looks like they're feeling very inspired playing on home court.
PR has to play DR...DR won last year, if memory serves.

USA to meet Dominican Republic for the gold medal
CAÑETE, Peru, June 24, 2017 – The United States will meet defending champions Dominican Republic for the gold medal of the XVI Women’s Volleyball Pan American Cup by Movistar following their 3-0 (25-14, 25-17, 27-25) victory at Lolo Fernandez Coliseum of Cañete on Saturday.
Both teams have been crowned four times in the history of the competition and the United States will be playing their seventh final.
The USA team established their serve and blocking game and didn’t give any chance to the home side until the third set when the Peruvian fans had something to cheer for. The winners scored 15 blocks.
Elizabeth McMahon led USA with 16 points, including 10 in the first set. Rhamat Alhassan contributed 12 points, including five blocks, in the victory and Madison Kindon had three blocks among her total of 10 points. Angela Leyva finished with 16 points for Peru.
Micha Hancock, Captain of United States: “Today’s match has been very important because Peru demanded the best from us for moments and we could control the match.”
Mirtha Uribe, Captain of Peru: “We knew the match was going to be difficult for the speed USA is showing but we were able to come back in the third set and even though we didn’t win we could show our game and came out with the heads up. We have to work harder and we are committed to keep improving and giving our best.”
Karch Kiraly, Coach of United States: “From watching the game Peru showed against Argentina we knew it was not going to be an easy rival and today’s game was going to be a tough one. We had a marvelous level of volleyball in our match today.”
Luizomar de Moura, Coach of Peru: “For us is very important to have matches against such strong teams like United States. By facing teams of that level of quality our game will be improving. I like what we did in the last sets and we are committed to continue playing that way.”

Hancock, MVP, Best setter, best server Still, she's no WFS. It's a miracle that the US was able to win, given Hancock's marginal skills..... Oops! I thought I was posting on Volleytalk under one of my Wisconsin-based aliases. It will be interesting to see what Karch does moving forward. If nothing else, she exhibited lots of leadership. |
