Our team played together today. We came with an objec ve and I think we accomplished it, in spite of our down side in the second game. I have to congratulate the Honduras team. I know they had a lot of obstacles to get here. But they s ll played hard. I have to give double congratula ons to my team. We had six months of prac ce leading up to this game and we are happy to get the win. We are happy for our coach, who trained us. We are now ready for the United States tomorrow.” Honduras Head Coach Marcos Tejada: “It was 30 hours to get here (due to the travel delays with the fires in Honduras). We were here for only three hours before playing our match and our precision was not there in pass, block and spike. It took a li le of our confidence because we were red. Tomorrow we will play be er and give our best we can and have fewer errors.” Honduras Captain Estela Duron: “I think the team coming in two pieces with travel delays made this an exhaus ng trip. This was a factor in us not giving 100 percent. We hope to get be er for tomorrow, have a be er game and give our best.”

Go out there and play for each other.” United States Head Coach David Hunt: “Since I started working with them two weeks ago they have been excited and ready to play. A lot of things tac cally that we were trying to do that they have been implemen ng the last eight weeks, they were able to do that. Some mes you don’t know if they will revert back to their old habits because they were s ll learning some things. It was good to see that transfer over to the match.” Guatemala Head Coach David Aldana Perez: “The most important thing is for us to play together in this classifica on.

And playing in the high al tude was a challenge, also. But even though we lost today, I thought we played well together. “
