QUEBEC — Canada will crank up the intensity for China and Olympic qualification in the coming days, but head coach Shannon Winzer was thrilled her squad was able to close off a challenging week by claiming a bronze medal in the NORCECA senior women's
Canada thrilled the sold-out crowd at the PEPS’ Amphithéatre Desjardins-Université Laval by defeating Cuba 25-21, 25-17, 17-25, 25-16 to finish on the podium in the six-day, seven-country tournament.
Canada’s offence produced 53 attack points, compared with 47 for Cuba, while Canada dominated in blocking . Cuba led in service aces 7-5 and errors were 17-18 in Canada’s favour. “We know that we are a physical team, compared with Cuba, and we really wanted to show that today. It wasn’t the cleanest volleyball we have played this week, but we did what we had to do to pull off the win. I think it was a real team effort today.”“This is preparation for the Olympic qualifier — we wanted to try out some subs in a few different situations and we wanted to try out different lineups and starting rotations," said Winzer.
Howe, who was superb throughout the tournament, said the goal in Quebec City was gold, but was happy her team found its energy to net bronze after a tough semifinal loss to the Dominican Republic — 25-27, 22-25, 25-23, 20-25 — on Saturday night that took one hour, 43 minutes to play.
