Lucian Pressure!

Saint Lucia has done it again, this time with the junior teams. St. Lucia battled number of Caribbean island during the ECVA under 20 tournaments. The female team embarked to Antigua on Tuesday August 21st, 2019, under the guidance of veteran Volleyball Coach terry Vernat and assistant coach Kerrisa Thomas.

The first match took place on the august 22, where St. Lucia dominated Bermuda and SABA in a 3-0 victory. They continued to persevere and won Antigua with a 3-2 victory. Avenging an earlier 3-2 at the hands of Antigua and Barbuda in the preliminary round, St Lucia did not allow for any comeback this time around, to win the championship match in fine style, 3-0 (25-22, 25-19, 25-17).St. Lucia not only came home with the title of under 20 ECVA Champions but walked away with MVP, best outside hitter and best Serve titles as well. Clio Phillips received the MVP and best outside hitter while Hayle Mondesir got best serve.

St Lucia finished the tournament with four wins and a solitary loss, while Antigua and Barbuda had three wins and two losses.

The male under 20 team showed that they were just as capable as the female team and replicated the victory. The male team gave a splendid representation of their talents. St. Kitts was defeated by St. Lucia in a 3-2 loss in the preliminary. St. Lucia battled intensely St. Kitts in the finals and came out victorious.  Like their female counterparts the males also won individual awards. Joshua Florent wins ECVA male MVP, outside hitter and best Scorer.  Best opposite was captured by non-other than Noah Gasper, while Fabio Lamontagne received best server.

Saint Lucia portrayed that they are full of talent and a force to be recon with. Congratulations to both male and female under 20 team, Our New ECVA champions 2019!
