Liz and I arrived in Guatemala City on Wednesday evening for the second leg of the NORCECA Beach Volleyball circuit. Competition started today with pool play for the 17 women's teams. Liz and I started off the day at 9am with our first match vs. Cuba. We started strong and took the lead early. Unable to maintain the lead, faltering after a couple tough serving aces by the Cubans, we lost the first set 18-21. We started the second set much like the first, taking the lead early. This time we were able to maintain the lead, and with some tough serving we won 21-15, taking it to a third set. The third set we were back and forth. After a judgment call that didn't go our way, the game was tied at 13-13. We sided out to put us at 14-13, then I served an ace to win the game!
Our next pool play game vs. Nicaragua is tomorrow, as well as the first round of the single elimination of playoffs.
