COROZAL, Puerto Rico, February 5, 2010 – Corozal
is one victory away from revalidating the title
in the Puerto Rico Men’s Superior League
following a 15-25, 25-22, 25-16, 25-13 win over
Guaynabo to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven
Final Series.
Robert Nielsen topped the winners with 18 points
and Casey Patterson and Matthew McKinney added
15 and 10 respectively. Lucas Chavez led losers
with 14 points and Thomas Hoff and Eric Vance
charted 8 apiece.
The sixth match of the series will be played in
Guayanabo on Saturday. In case of a seventh and
decisive match it will be in Caguas, a neutral
venue.
“We are confident after winning three straight
matches,” said Enrique Escalante of Corozal. “We
don’t want to go to a seventh match and give
them a break.”
“We need to concentrate in what is happening
between the lines, to focus in volleyball,” said
Hoff, of Guaynabo, who was the captain of the
USA Team in the last NORCECA Championship.
