Lady Jaguars rule national volleyball finals

Belmopan, November 13, 2011

The Lady Jaguars volleyball team showed why they remained undefeated throughout the 2011 National Senior Volleyball competition as they won the finals over the weekend.

The Lady Jaguars upset their long-standing rivals, the Moen Stars in 2 sets in the 10th game, the grand finale. The Jaguars’ attacks were spearheaded by Barbara Cadle, Shantell Arnold, Sherylee Young-Thurton and Tichele Solis who spiked home attacks on plays set by libero Tisha Solis, Tanesha Encalada and Bobby Lee Usher. The Jaguars lost Shantell Arnold to a sprained ankle after a bad landing.

The Stars’ tried to capitalize on this, spiking home attacks on plays set by player-coach Lupita Quan and Sherlene Johnson, but Alina Scott stepped up as an able substitute for Arnold, helping the Jaguars to win the 1st set 25-22.

In the 2nd set, the Stars refreshed their offensive with Marika Zuniga and Vivianni Avila, while libero Ashley Habet rotated into the game to help on defense, but Babsy Cadle and Alina Scott were dominant at the net as they hammered home the 25-12 win.

The women’s tournament had 5 teams who played in a single round robin. The Belmopan Defendaz took 3rd place as they won 2 of their games, losing only to the Moen Stars and Lady Jaguars.
