The dream of the tetracampeonato continues for San Martín

The dream of the tetracampeonato continues for San Martín). And it's because the 'saint' team defeated Jaamsa by 21-25, 25-21, 25-21, and 25-19. Thus, it forced a third match to determine the champion of the National Volleyball League 2017-18 season.

Although Deportivo Jaamsa started winning the first set, San Martín did not despair; on the contrary, they grew in the game. The blocking and counterattack of the Santa Anita team surpassed the rival offense.

The 'saint' attacker Allison Mayfield was the top scorer with 21 points, five fewer than the Canadian Alicia Perrin. Meanwhile, Ángela Leyva contributed 12 points in the match, two more than her sister Leslie.

"In the first match, the plays did not work out for us, but now we had the opportunity to redeem ourselves. I know that nothing is said yet, but we have taken a big step towards tomorrow's match. Jaamsa is a very complicated team," said Ángela Leyva.

On the other hand, Deportivo Jaamsa, led by Cuban Juan Carlos Gala, did not have the same outstanding performance as in the first match. Attacker Sulian Matienzo scored 21 points, the same amount as Allison Mayfield.
