International wins decisively against Co-operative

The International School girls volleyball team defeated the Co-operative School 2-0 in a match played at the Jaguars gym Thursday afternoon. The score was the same in both games: 25-19.
The scores do not indicate how evenly played the games actually were, with the teams taking turns holding the lead in the early stages. The score in the second game was knotted near the end of the game at 18-18. At that point, however, the Griffins seemed to become steadier, winning seven of the next eight points to clinch the victory.
The Griffins now have posted two wins and appear to be getting better each week.
The Jaguars, though now 0-2, have several players that are new to the team, and are sure to improve as those players gain experience.
Both teams were clearly giving it all they had, with several players on both sides putting in outstanding efforts. For International, Simone Ahuile and Soraya Dajbura gave fine overall performances. For Co-operative, Veronica Richter, Ana Paula Justiniano, and Alexia Handal stood out.
