St. Maarten on the other showed marked improvement play but it wasn\u2019t enough to unsettled the St. Lucians<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px;\">The improvement of the St. Maarten team was noticed by their coach \u2013 Dimitri Beauperthuy.<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px;\">\u201cI told my girls that this is the best game that we have played for the tournament so far. It is unfortunate that we did not win but the major lesson learnt is that we now that we can compete with the best teams in this competition. This sets us in good stead for the quarterfinals that we have to play later, so in general I am positive going forward.<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px;\">Coach Challery of St. Lucia had a pensive look on his face. \u201cThings are going as planned so far. We are happy with the win and also in short order so we can get some additional rest. We changed a few things from the last time and that seemed to work a little better as used one of our outside players in the opposite position and I like what I saw there. The focus\u00a0 shifts\u00a0 to the semifinal but the attitude will remain the same, whoever qualifies to play against us, we will be ready with our \u201cA\u201d game<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px;\"><a style=\"padding-bottom: 1px; border-bottom: 1px solid #0248a3; color: #0248a3; margin-bottom: 1px;\" href=\"http:\/\/norceca.net\/St.%20Lucia%20beats%20St.%20Maarten%20in%20straight%20to%20remain%20undefeated.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read More<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e49c58 elementor-post-navigation-borders-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-post-navigation\" data-id=\"0e49c58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-navigation.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__prev elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/?p=1329\" rel=\"prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-prev\"><i class=\"fa fa-angle-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Prev<\/span><\/span><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--label\">Previous<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--title\">St. Lucia successfully defends ECVA female Title<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__next elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/?p=1334\" rel=\"next\"><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__next\"><span class=\"post-navigation__next--label\">Next<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__next--title\">St. Lucia Reach Finals with Narrow Win over Antigua &amp; Barbuda<\/span><\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-next\"><i class=\"fa fa-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Next<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f544f7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2f544f7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33553974 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"33553974\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Recent News<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63b005b8 elementor-grid-3 elementor-grid-tablet-2 elementor-grid-mobile-1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-loop-grid\" data-id=\"63b005b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;template_id&quot;:2815,&quot;columns&quot;:3,&quot;_skin&quot;:&quot;post&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;edit_handle_selector&quot;:&quot;[data-elementor-type=\\&quot;loop-item\\&quot;]&quot;,&quot;row_gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;row_gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;row_gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"loop-grid.post\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-loop-container elementor-grid\">\n\t\t<style id=\"loop-dynamic-2815\">.e-loop-item-882 .elementor-element.elementor-element-26e73a81:not(.elementor-motion-effects-element-type-background), .e-loop-item-882 .elementor-element.elementor-element-26e73a81 > .elementor-motion-effects-container > .elementor-motion-effects-layer{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Donation.jpg\");}<\/style><style id=\"loop-2815\">.elementor-2815 .elementor-element.elementor-element-26e73a81{--display:flex;--min-height:474px;--flex-direction:column;--container-widget-width:calc( ( 1 -

Lucia poured in another sterling performance in the process of defending their ECVA title, this time defeating St. Maarten in straight sets to keep a perfect record to date in the ECVA Senior Female competition<\/p>\n<p>St. Lucia was hardly pushed and stayed in control throughout the set eventually wining 25-18 25 &#8211; 18 and 25 -20. St. Maarten on the other showed marked improvement play but it wasn\u2019t enough to unsettled the St. Lucians<\/p>\n<p>The improvement of the St. Maarten team was noticed by their coach \u2013 Dimitri Beauperthuy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told my girls that this is the best game that we have played for the tournament so far. It is unfortunate that we did not win but the major lesson learnt is that we now that we can compete with the best teams in this competition. This sets us in good stead for the quarterfinals that we have to play later, so in general I am positive going forward.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Challery of St. Lucia had a pensive look on his face. \u201cThings are going as planned so far. We are happy with the win and also in short order so we can get some additional rest. We changed a few things from the last time and that seemed to work a little better as used one of our outside players in the opposite position and I like what I saw there. The focus  shifts  to the semifinal but the attitude will remain the same, whoever qualifies to play against us, we will be ready with our \u201cA\u201d game<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1332"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1332\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3097,"href":"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1332\/revisions\/3097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
