COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Aug. 27, 2022) – The U.S. Women’s Team was the first at the Pan American Cup to win a set from Colombia, but the South American side took the quarterfinal win, 3-1 (25-16, 25-27, 25-20, 25-20) on Saturday in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.
The U.S. Women (4-2) will play Mexico for the bronze medal on Sunday at 4 p.m. PT. Watch the match live at youtube.com/c/TMXDigital/videos
The U.S. Women led Colombia in blocks (9-6) and was close behind in kills (59-57). Colombia led in aces (6-1) and scored 29 points on U.S. errors and committed 16 of its own.
“It’s always disappointing to lose,” U.S. setter Tori Dilfer said. “Colombia played a heck of a match. I think we made adjustments really well when Colombia started showing us things we weren’t prepared for. We just got it going a little late.”
Dilfer combined with backup setter Ashley Evans to set the U.S. to a .209 hitting efficiency. She also scored two points with a kill and an ace.
U.S. outside hitter Avery Skinner led all scorers with 21 points from a match-high 20 kills and one block. Skinner also led the U.S. in excellent receptions with 18.
Outside hitter Roni Jones-Perry with 17 points on 15 kills and two blocks. Middle blocker Alison Bastianelli finished with 10 points on seven kills and a match-high three blocks.
Middle blocker Madeleine Gates finished with seven points on five kills and two blocks. Opposite Stephanie Samedy totaled six points on six kills.
Outside hitter Mac May played as a substitute and scored three points. Evans scored a point with a kill.
