Puerto Rico won the NORCECA Women’s Volleyball Challenge Cup in Edmonton on Sunday with a 5 set victory over Canada in the final.  

After dropping the first set 25-22, the Puerto Ricans picked up the next two sets by scores of 25-17 and 25-19.

Backed by the partisan home crowd, team Canada came back to win the fourth set by a 27-25 score, but could not complete the comeback, as Puerto Rico took the deciding set 15-8.

Alexa Grey of Calgary led the Canadian attack with 18 points, while Autumn Bailey of Burlington, Ontario and Alicia Ogoms of Winnipeg each added 10 points.  

Team Canada, which includes Dani Smith of Beaverlodge, advanced to the final with a pair of match victories over Trinidad and Tobago.
