When the dust settled it was St. Lucia by a neck in a gripping 5 setter \u2013 25-23, 23-25, 25 -18, 19 -25 and 15-11.<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px;\">St. Lucia showed resilience as the early games were typified by Antigua making runs and St. Lucia roaring back to level then go ahead.<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px;\">The game gave room to two key players going head to head. Mali Peters Middle Blocker of Antigua was everywhere she was spiking (14 points) blocking (5 points) and to top that off she had 4 Aces. In the end she had a game high 23 points. St. Lucia\u2019s key player \u2013 Lisa Casimie responded with 21 points all of them from powerful Spikes as she had a woeful time at the service line with several service errors.<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px;\">St. Lucia\u2019s edge came from Outside Hitter Kerin Neptune who had 19 points and an invaluable contribution of 12 points from Yoshebel Emmanuel.<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px;\">When Coach Challery slowed his heart rate enough for an interview he commented on the individual contributions which helped his cause. \u201cNeptune is one of our more consistent players. Casimie is our power hitter so when they tried to shut down Casimie we went to Neptune and got some valuable points. I must admit however that they really pushed us, not that we were not expecting it as we saw them play and knew what they were capable of. I just think that we were the fitter team and had a little more energy when it mattered most\u201d, he recalled.<\/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%20reach%20finals%20with%20narrow%20win%20over%20Antigua%20&amp;%20Barbuda.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-c656d50 elementor-post-navigation-borders-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-post-navigation\" data-id=\"c656d50\" 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=1332\" 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 beats St. Maarten in straight to remain undefeated<\/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=1336\" 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 wins again in straight sets this time over Grenada<\/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-4ea55588 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4ea55588\" 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-1a5fe480 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1a5fe480\" 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-5c3d251d elementor-grid-3 elementor-grid-tablet-2 elementor-grid-mobile-1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-loop-grid\" data-id=\"5c3d251d\" 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 and Antigua engaged in what was called the most competitive match in the ECVA Senior Female Competition to date. When the dust settled it was St. Lucia by a neck in a gripping 5 setter \u2013 25-23, 23-25, 25 -18, 19 -25 and 15-11.<\/p>\n<p>St. Lucia showed resilience as the early games were typified by Antigua making runs and St. Lucia roaring back to level then go ahead.<\/p>\n<p>The game gave room to two key players going head to head. Mali Peters Middle Blocker of Antigua was everywhere she was spiking (14 points) blocking (5 points) and to top that off she had 4 Aces. In the end she had a game high 23 points. St. Lucia\u2019s key player \u2013 Lisa Casimie responded with 21 points all of them from powerful Spikes as she had a woeful time at the service line with several service errors.<\/p>\n<p>St. Lucia\u2019s edge came from Outside Hitter Kerin Neptune who had 19 points and an invaluable contribution of 12 points from Yoshebel Emmanuel.<\/p>\n<p>When Coach Challery slowed his heart rate enough for an interview he commented on the individual contributions which helped his cause. \u201cNeptune is one of our more consistent players. Casimie is our power hitter so when they tried to shut down Casimie we went to Neptune and got some valuable points. I must admit however that they really pushed us, not that we were not expecting it as we saw them play and knew what they were capable of. I just think that we were the fitter team and had a little more energy when it mattered most\u201d, he recalled.<\/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-1334","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\/1334","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=1334"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3090,"href":"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334\/revisions\/3090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stluciavolleyball.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
