Posted by devo on May 10, 2008
Australia have pushed the number 6 world rank team to 5 sets in their final match in Argentina. In the 3 “friendly” matches, Australia lost 2 matches to 1. Argentina won the 2 “demonstration / scrimmage” matches.
Russ Borgeaud reports that it was a high quality match. Yudin top scored with 21 points. The guys head to Greece tomorrow.
From Feva:
In the most exciting match of the five played vs. Australia and with an overcrowded stadium, the Argentine National Men Team, coached by Jon Uriarte defeated the visiting team 3-2 (26-28, 25-21, 25-21, 28-30, 15-10). Lucas Chavez and Lucas Ocampo were the best players of the night closing a great friendly series that started just a week ago in Trelew and that finished with a record for Argentina of 4 victories and an only defeat.
After a very levelled start, Australia got an advantage with its best weapon, blocking. more ~ Feva photos
