Conte (No. 7)
It wasn’t all fabulous for Argentinians at the start of the game as Hoag destroyed their reception, disabling them to organize a proper attack. Canada took 5-2 lead. With a spike – block combination, Conte pulled Argentina ahead for 4-0 run at 5-7, while Perrin was unrecognizable on the other side, making too many errors. Argentina took 16-12. On Argentinian 21-16 lead, Canada woke up, approached to 22-20, again thanks to Hoag’s serves, but Argentina kept its momentum 25-21.
If anyone thought that Canada couldn’t repeat play with so many errors in Set 2, they were wrong. Argentina took 5-0 lead at the start! Canadians made a 3-0 run at 11-5 that kept them alive and it will turn out to be crucial (11-8). Canadian duo Jansen – Schmitt started to put some extraordinary shots on Argentinian side and Canada equalized 16-16! Then, the real battle started… Perrin took over for Schmitt and Jansen, had a spiking duel with Conte and won it, as well as Canada won the set 25-23.
The next set was one of the most dramatic at the World Cup in general! Canada was impressive having 4-1 lead, but Argentina made a turnover on the first TTO 8-7. South Americans couldn’t make a proper serve, giving the opponent a solid 13-9 lead. Palacios brought freshness into Argentinian play, while Perrin was on fire in Canada 21-19. Argentina had 3-0 run on 21-23 to have set ball number one, but eventually converted set ball number three 29-27.
Conte was amazing in first three sets, but in the fourth, it was Solé’s turn to make a mark 4-1. Argentina maintained a three-point lead for a long time (12-9) to increase it at the best possible time (20-15). Conte finished it in style 25-22.
