Puerto Rico‘s attacker Genesis Miranda led her team scorers with 15 points including three blocks, while Tunisian captain Emna Khalfa contributed 19 points for her team coming as match scorer.

The match was very competitive throughout the whole sets. Tunisia started with more disciplined line up using the spikes of captain Emna Khalfa to perform a good job in attacks in the way to win the first set 26-24. Puerto Rico came back with goods in the second set with Genesis Miranda playing a great role to win the set 25-22.

Puerto Rico continued the same rhythm in the third set and used the frequent mistakes done by the Tunisians in reception and defence to win the set 25-17. Again Puerto Rico won the crucial points of the fourth set to win 25- and the match 3-1.
